Are phone batteries explosive? Able to generate a fire that can’t be extinguished with a fire extinguisher?

Do we allow 100ml of phone battery? Does a Macbook contain even more energy?




We allow 100wh of batteries in individual devices


Fires, despite being bad, are less of a hazard than explosives of the same total energy.


I heard that one shall be careful with Li-Ion batteries. /s
