FWIW there are reports of the Ultrafires, and similar fake/crap batteries undergoing spontaneous venting and combustion, when not even being used or charging. They ARE potentially dangerous and one of the reasons lithium chemistry has a dubious reputation. Combine that with users that don't have a clue and there is a recipe for disappointment and possible pyrotechnics.
You are aware that one of the fastest ways to get a lithium fire is cut open a cell? Not advised unless you absolutely KNOW what you are getting in to, and the cell is DEAD.
