edit: after 20 comments, i’m adding a post description here, since most of the commenters so far appear not to be reading the article:
This is about how surprisingly cheap it is (eg $15,000) to buy a complete production line to be able to manufacture batteries with a layer of nearly-undetectable explosives inside of them, which can be triggered by off-the-shelf devices with only their firmware modified.

Every single comment misunderstanding the point. The batteries are exploding because there’s explosives in them. This does make them exploding batteries. The explode because they are partially made with explosives. Please don’t well actually this.
No this is not a description of something Israel did, it’s a hypothetical way to do a similar attack to show how within reach of idiot terrorists it is.
Raising the idea of doing this so everyone is thinking about it is extremely bad for us all. Thanks Israel.
JFC Christ, does anyone know where the nearest ATM Machine is?

No, it doesn’t. The battery itself is not the source of the explosion, it’s the explosive hidden inside it.
A regular battery cannot be made to explode in this way.
That does not make them exploding batteries, it had explosives in them. A suicide bomber is not an explosive human.
Do bombs explode? Or is it the explosives inside of them that are exploding?
