Hi Robert:
The military BA-5590/U primary battery uses a Lithium Sulfur Dioxide
chemistry where the Sulfur Dioxide is under something like 4 atmospheres
of pressure.
The newer BB-2590/U is a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. There are
many videos of what happens to them when punctured.

Have Fun,

Hmm,
Anyone else remember Sodium-Sulphur secondary batteries? they were proposed for
electric vehicles in the late 70's I rode on a prototype at Chloride. You have
to heat them up to melt both the Sodium and the Sulphur to make them work
(about 270 deg C). Always sounded like a bad mixture to me.

Hi
I believe we were up to several tons of mercury in the basement when the
thread died for some reason. Could be quite a splash if that got loose.
It's the couple of hundred pounds of liquid metallic sodium in the heating
system that seems to have the neighbors a bit concerned these days. (That
always was seemed to be a risky thing to do..).

Agreed,
Braniac just do rigged explosions and special effects. Unfortunatly many
take it as fact. It makes Mythbusters look lokr PhD research.
I can drop a spare LPRO-101 into a bowl of water, but I don't think the
result will be spectacular even with power hooked up.
Dropping a 5071A into a bathtub will be a more spectacular splash, but
nothing to write home about.
Now, this makes me recall the big tanks of water and LPROs in Bob's
basement. Consider the water damages it would do...
Cheers,
Magnus
