Are they safe?

If a battery can be charge very rapidly that implies a high charging current, which would require charger, cables etc. to be capable of working with that current.

What happens if such a battery is accidentally discharged by short circuit? Would it be capable or producing dangerously high currents with consequent fire risk?
