The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it.

edit: after 20 comments, i'm adding a post description here, since most of the commenters so far appear not to be reading the article:
This is about how surprisingly cheap it is (eg $15,000) to buy a complete production line to be able to manufacture batteries with a layer of nearly-undetectable explosives inside of them, which can be triggered by off-the-shelf devices with only their firmware modified.

Every single comment misunderstanding the point. The batteries are exploding because there's explosives in them. This does make them exploding batteries. The explode because they are partially made with explosives. Please don't well actually this.
No this is not a description of something Israel did, it's a hypothetical way to do a similar attack to show how within reach of idiot terrorists it is.
Raising the idea of doing this so everyone is thinking about it is extremely bad for us all. Thanks Israel.
No, it doesn't. The battery itself is not the source of the explosion, it's the explosive hidden inside it.
A regular battery cannot be made to explode in this way.
JFC Christ, does anyone know where the nearest ATM Machine is?

That does not make them exploding batteries, it had explosives in them. A suicide bomber is not an explosive human.
Do bombs explode? Or is it the explosives inside of them that are exploding?
They're batteries. And they are explosive because of the explosives in them. They are discrete things that are explosives.
You're trying to make a weird, un-useful, pedantic distinction here.
Comment you replied to was making a far more useful correction, because people did not read the article.
It's a needed distinction because the Israeli committed more war crimes with what they did.
A suicide bomber is not an explosive human but they are an exploding human.
I think there may be a couple edits needed in your comment. Reread slowly and get back to us.
Pedantics fighting pedantics LOL
And when you put the same explosives inside a barbie doll and make it go off, then it wasn't an exploding barbie doll. Or was it? ;-)
Fun fact, a group of pedants is called a flem. To use it in a sentence: "the party was ruined by a flem of pedants".
I think you mean "pedants fighting pedants" :p

Did it really need quotes?
Please don't "well actually" this
Yes, yes it did. I didn't understand that sentence until I saw this version with quotes.
