[quote=Anonymous]It has nothing to do with the elevator. The battery was defective and starting to fail. Li-ion batteries are, in fact, quite dangerous. The big issue is that they cannot be extinguished once they start to burn, so they will always burn completely (which is why airlines limit the size of Li-ion batteries that can be used in laptops and other devices that are taken on planes). Definitely check anything that you own that has one of these batteries periodically and treat it as hazardous waste if the battery starts to bulge (a sign of imminent failure). Also, don't buy cheap no-name batteries from Aliexpress (etc.), since they often lack the safety protections necessary to prevent thermal runaway.[/quote]
