I once accidentally shorted out a 7AH, 12V battery like that used for alarm panels and it turned the wire red-hot and melted the insulation right off of it.
Rechargeable batteries of any kind don’t like to be shorted out. They will put out more than enough energy to start a fire!
Understand that when you poked a hole in that battery, you shorted it out.
That is why I was taught decades ago to never wear my wedding ring when doing automobile work. Just imagine the discomfort of a puddle of liquid gold on your ring finger.
I must tell you, there is no comparison. I have often welded with a car battery and cables. And, I know my way around direct current as would the son of an electrical engineer. Try if you you must.
