Re: Fixing what?
" The battery contains enough energy to melt itself free of lightweight protection schemes like aluminum foil wraps and laptop cases."
I bought some garden fence solar lights that have a single button Ni-Mh 1.2v battery of probably 40 or 80 mah. One day I noticed one was no longer working. It had a neat hole burned straight through the bottom of the clear plastic cover. It was the same size as the outer case of the button battery that was now lying on the ground.
It appeared a fault had generated enough heat for the battery to disintegrate - and for the falling outer shell to then burn through the lamp's plastic case.
Jury rigging an AAA Ni-Mh battery has worked with no problem - so the fault appeared to have been purely down to the button battery.
