If a soldier smashes his phone, and his solid state drive is in pieces, like literal pieces. Deformed, torn from stress, fractured pieces, good chance they were superheated from a failed lithium battery, that you (YOU) could get USABLE data from it?

This is kind of a trick question so think carefully, not that I'm an expert by any means, coming from 28 years in IT, (including non-gov't data recovery).
