I posted this in my battery tear down thread, but I figure it could use its own.

so yeah... about that damaged module I was liberating cells from... done with that.
Somehow one shorted out while I was removing glue/plastic. Immediately went red hot, popped, flew off like a firework and of course, directly up into an open door to my basement ~15' away. (I was working on this outside by the pool, which is 3 steps down from the basement door and ~15' away.) Slid across the tile floor and landed in front of my fiance's PC another 25' away. Sat there for several seconds while I was chasing after it with a fire extinguisher in hand. Hit it a few times with the ABC chemical, and the chemical boiled on the shell. Seemed to cool is a bit, though, so hit it a few more times, grabbed it with a pair of pliers and leather gloves and threw it back outside in the dirt..... along with the entire rest of the module and the rest of the cells I removed previously.
So, think I'm done with that project.
