    PETN-ion batteries, such hot tech right now.

    They are even talking about using it in electric cars to vastly increase the (vertical) range they can do.

      It wasn’t the batteries, the pagers were powered using standard double AA batteries. It was implanted bombs.

          You physically can’t, unless you have a defective battery or you short the wiring, but that’s oblivious as soon as you insert the battery. Overheating a double a battery also won’t do much. Is it dangerous? Yes. But it won’t be a violent explosion.
