Either it was done deliberately or it wasn't, someone needs to make their
mind up.

Deliberate, but not as an act of terrorism, perhaps? For example taping
up a safety cut-out on a tool.

Possibly. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd done something stupid too it since
batteries don't generally burst into flames and when the do its when they're
being used. Unless they're in a Tesla.

I'd rather the police gathered evidence before they made their minds up.

Now reported to be an explosion of a battery in a power tool.

Lithium, presumably.

Or Ni-Cad. Still in older tools and ISTR even some new ones. They used
to occasionally blow up telephones around 30y ago so the larger ones
in power tools should have a fair bit of oomph when they
self-destruct.

The ones that went viral and prompted a recall a while ago were in
laptop computers made by a corporation named after a fruit that burst
into flames while being charged.

Then there were the others in various makes of Wintel computers which
all used cells from the same factory...

Apparently the "solution" to that was to put the battery in a stronger more
fire resistent box. Doesn't exactly fill one with confidence, nor IMO does
does the fact that most of the plane is composite when composite failures
have caused a number of airbus rudders to fall off and composites can't be
checked as easily as aluminium for fatique cracking. The 787s might be fine
now but you'd have to be pretty brave to fly in one in 20 years time IMO.
