That's why we keep anything powered by electricity outside of the house. Who knows when a gameboy could catch fire and explode and burn your house down???

Har har, the issue is the joules of energy stored in the battery and how quickly it can be discharged. A pair of AA batteries store the same energy as ~5grams of TNT but they can not release it all at once. An electric scooter or bike battery stores the equivalent energy to a large car crash and can release it in seconds due to the chemistry and construction.
