Here is an example, but I believe this was a little P1 battery

I've seen this happen with a P2 Battery and a Spark battery, the P2 was punctured in a crash and the Spark happened because of a faulty charger, which also caught fire. That's in around 6 years of dealing with drones though, I've seen plenty of exploding none-DJI li-on batteries, but i wasn't directly involved with those, i just know they happened.
