NiMH are generally safe when punctured. Short-circuiting NiMH batteries can lead to rapid heating, which can result in melting and breaching of the case. Once the case is breached, the negative electrode, which is a metal-hydride (i.e. hydrogen-rich) will tend to burn. ... The biggest danger with NiMH is overcharging.Jun 19, 2017
