“electricity, salt water... what could go wrong?”
That’s been around forever, or at least decades. The new factor is LITHIUM batteries.

Similar to the reason Uncle Fester could not be an astronaut.
I’m a watchmaker and won’t allow LITHIUM batteries into my shop!!!! Most batteries can be saved for re-cycling but a box of “dead” LITHIUM batteries, packed for mailing by a store I serviced, overheated on a counter and started a very hot fire.
When it blew, a fire started on the store’s carpet.
When the battery “dies” it is NOT dead. It merely lacks the voltage to do its job. When improperly collected, the voltage increases times the number of batteries.
The U.S. Post Office won’t accept packages containing them.
Maybe it’s best to take the hint.
