I would think not. I dont know a lot about them, but I wouldnt be messing around with any kind of battery that is charging while its next to my face. Thats just me. Im also a paranoid freak, haha!
If you did somehow get an ego passthrough to blow while charging, it would blow out the bottom, away from you. I've dissected one. Once you unscrew the bottom cap, it's just a piece of plastic between the battery and open air.
IMO, this risk is getting overblown. The Li-Ion battery in your cellphone can blow next to your head. Your Li-Ion battery in your laptop can blow and burn your house down. It's just not very likely. I mean win the lottery unlikely.
I had an episode the other day. I forgot to turn my VV box mod off, and set something on top of it. Some minutes later, I reached for it to get a few vapes.... The carto was very hot. I opened it and removed the batteries. The voltage regulator was very hot, but the batteries were cool. After the entire device cooled off, I reassembled it, and took a drag. YuuuuuuuuKKKK. The carto was trash. Pop in a new carto...good to go.
So, I'm out $1.50.
Protected batteries work.
Still, I told the wife about it, and used it as an excuse to get a Provari!!!!
There's an up side to everything.

@ Off Topic. You are a clever one! wtg!
I have a Smok 900mAh passthru battery that plugs into a USB power source with a cable. I suck the hell outta it daily and have had zero problems. Having worked for two decades with rechargeable batteries of many different chemistries, I am not concerned with destructive or catastrophic overcharging issues. Modern charge controllers based on microcontrollers, which is 99% of them out there, do a great job. Manufacturers have a financial incentive to avoid setting their customers on fire. One good lawsuit could unplug their entire business.
It is important to make sure the mod itself is safe to start with. No reason then why batteries could not be charged in the mod
Seems to be alot of talk about bad batteries recently, what sparked this off i dont know but i can assure you if you purchase from a reputable vendor you shouldnt have any issues, be careful with mods though
