I don't know the technicals of it Kuroto, you'd need one of the clued up folks for that . . . but my understanding is that when batteries come into contact with objects such as keys, then that can can cause a short in the battery's circuitry.

Sorry for the dumb question - I've heard warnings about not carrying batteries in pockets, but can anyone tell me the science behind it? Is it the movement and heat of being in a pocket? Or is it caused by the batteries touching other things in the pocket (no innuendos please  )? Batteries in the pocket so to speak are totally fine, the problems arise when you have metal objects in the same pocket that will connect the positive and negative terminals on the battery and cause it to short, the types of battery we use for e-cigs - once shorted will release a large amount of energy very quickly and get very hot in the process. There really is no excuse for our mishaps because battery cases are just pennies to buy  |
