Watch the Exploding Batteries!

You'll remember, I've had a little experience with the dangers of current Lithium-Ion batteries. Turns out, if their plastic coating is punctured, they can explode. Not so with the Valence Saphion battery.

Looks like the exploding cell phone could be a thing of the past (and you should watch the video of the exploding cobalt-oxide-based LIon batteries and imagine one that size blowing up next to your face).
