Soldiers routinely carry things that are designed to explode; getting a round
into a wearable battery sounds dangerous, but still less than getting a round
into one of your grenades.

If it's designed to be worn under some body armor, it shouldn't be too much of
an issue.

Grenades are designed to explode only after the pin is pulled. That's a little
different than getting a nick in your battery and suddenly looking like a
LiveLeak vape fail video writ large. That being said, there's plenty of work
being done on batteries that aren't also incendiary devices waiting for their
moment to shine.
