I think it was me who said it could not explode.
I guess what I meant was a lithium battery as small as one would find in a pager would not likely result in an explosion like we’ve seen in the videos today. Merely suggesting implanted explosives are far more likely in this case.
That is very possible. I could see a small heat sensitive explosive being used.
But batteries have a lot of potential energy. An iPhone battery holds the same amount of energy as a grenade, for example.
