The size of that battery reminds me of an event that occurred in my youth, i.e. many years ago in a galaxy far far away....
One of my first jobs while still in high school was working at a electric motor and power tool repair shop. One day I was tasked with repairing a huge corded (cordless hadn't invented yet) electric drill with a monstrous 3/4" chuck. It was a high torque slow speed drill meant to be used by REAL men
After a little tinkering I got the drill to run again. Before claiming victory, we always had to verify the fixed tool worked under load. So, I promptly chucked up a 1/2" drill bit and proceeded to drill a hole in 1/2" plate.
In case you haven't figured it out by now what happened next, the drill bit got stuck in the hole and before I could release the trigger the drill had me wrapped up in its power cord and sprawled on the ground.
I won't say I haven't made the same mistake again over the last 50+ years but
that particular mistake has been few and far between
