    What happens when the casing get punctured? When you mass produce these devices these things will happen.

      Probably the same as with tritium lumes. Only dangerous if you swallow the unshielded nickel.

      Surely the battery itself would have sufficient protection on top of the devices chassis offering protection.

      I can’t say a Lithium Ion battery leaking in the body would bode very either.
