lithium polymer batteries are just as likely to explode if shorted as Li-Ion batteries...
Yep it was Sony batteries. http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2165416/sony-fires-global-battery

The OP should get flamed for this ridiculous post
Whcih is about 10X worse than litium ion. We use lithium polymer in our tobotics lab all the time, and have thousand euros recharging systems. There has still been 3 fires in 2 years and there is a graveyard of about 20 li Polymers that have ballooned and would explode if charged again.

The same happens if you undercharge LiPo's though, if you don't notice that they have ballooned then it finally ruptures the casing. Which would result in a fire like that, admittedly on a smaller scale as the battery used in the video is larger than phone cells.
D.P., At work are you charging multiple cell batteries? If so, are the cells being charged separately and balanced? Interested to know why you are getting failures from them with good chargers.
Looks like we need about 20 taxis. Wonder if that will qualify for a group discount? 
As for li-ion batteries, yes it was Sony that were implicated in the laptop issues, and yes shorting them, or getting them too hot, will cause fireworks, and not in a good way.
