you're welcome.
Early in my ham days I almost had a fire in my pants
pocket because one of those rechargeable packs contacted my keys.
Fortunately, it only got hot and I took it out of my pocket before anything
serious happened. But I did have to have the battery pack repaired. Icom
used to include a pad which you could slip into the pack to prevent that
from happening.
