I've got a couple burns from taking apart Li-Ion battery packs.
Frequently, these are assembled with some sort of flex circuit
board, and one mus be careful, when cutting through the flex, not
to bridge + and - from anywhere with your cutting tool.  You find
out real quick which parts are connected to that section, cause
they ALL get hot real quick...
