Not sure I would drive through a tunnel during a storm flood, though.

When lithium batteries were first introduced for laptop computers there was a rash of fires at conferences and other venues wher laptops left on tables were subjected to water spills. There were no hue and cry to ban laptops or their batteries. Replacement batteries were made waterproof.
