How/why the hell....

[Lavastage]

New question of mine: On eribite power cells, it is said that they are "highly volatile". Does this actually mean anything? Like, can the cell overload, or explode it caught in a fire?
Also, if putting a wire into a light socket does nothing, then why can we do it in the first place?

Its pretty much this, if a borg has an eribite cell and gets damaged too much/gets sparked on, he will explode. though it does recharge pretty fast.
