I had one swell inside an iPod.
I have the battery swelled inside the Dell laptop 3 times. 3 batteries and they all swelled up.

A nearby house burned down when a Li power tool battery hanging on the garage wall caught fire. The family was spared when a neighbor across the street saw the garage in flames, ran over in his underwear, kicked down the door when the family didn’t answer, and got the family out safely. His wife saw his absent attire and got him some shorts before the fire fighters arrived. The house reportedly was completely in flames, essentially gone, before he got the shorts on.

Prevention, the knowledge that care needs to be taken, is essential. Charge then remove or unplug is the key. Don’t alter the battery. Pay attention to the temperature when in use and get rid of hot batteries. Don’t use damaged batteries. Dispose of old or damaged batteries at a certified drop off. Li is here to stay as a battery compound. Battery ion chemistry is heavily researched and well known. It doesn’t change. Few options are available and Lithium is powerful, compact and generally safe.
