No. The problem is specific to laptop batteries, where extra thin

Not just laptops. Model aeroplanes have had a few go pop, too.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

And the ones for cameras, phones and small torches too (Cr123). I
understood it was the technology not the actual design which is
sensitive.

I've even read of problems with non rechargeable Li-ions
