Probably a good idea to ban them, we can easily fight the fire in the cabin. Maybe not in the cargo bin.
"Easily"? My guess is you've never held a run away lithium battery. I had a phone battery run away once. It was amazing in its intensity. Not so easy.
Since lithiums, my personal policy with cargo smoke on to point the ship towards the nearest suitable while we run the checklist.
