Assuming we are talking about falling batteries and not failing
batteries, almost anything falling from a significant height can kill.
A friend of mine was walking down the street (we're in Manhattan here)
and a drill smashed into the pavement less than 10 feet from him.
There was nothing visible in the apartment building above him. If it
hit him, he was dead. If it was a one pound battery, he was dead.
