    Some of what escapes from a lithium cell is hydrofluoric acid. Google what that does to you and then be afraid.

      As far as I know, it only happens when actively combusting. Not sure if it counts as actually combusting at the point in the meme?

        I’m not sure either, but if it’s about to go up it’ll get there quickly enough.

          Fair enough. Although the amount from a smaller battery shouldn’t be too much. Just don’t breathe near it.

      hydrofluoric acid

      Not sure if serious but just in case: why would there be any HF in a lithium ion battery?
