The recent post by Bobab:

Nanowire battery can hold 10 times the charge of existing lithium-ion battery

raises a minor question:

Will a Nanowire Lithium Ion battery using a silicon nanowire anode and holding 10 times the energy of a common Carbon-anode Lithium Ion battery also burn 10 times as brightly when the battery explodes in your laptop (as happens with annoying frequency with conventional Li-ion batteries)?

Just curious.
