.... batteries usually fail when they are charging. Charging one in a camera isn't always a good idea either.

I think I've only had 2-3 battery failures over the past 20 years or so and it occurred during charging. Aside from the fact the batteries no longer worked, another tell tale sign was the swelling of the battery case such that it would no longer fit into the camera. Had the failure occurred while in the camera the possibility of damage to the camera body was significant.

I had about the same .. a couple of phones, including one where the battery failed and killed the phone.
