It's diamond. You're not likely to break it.

You can pretty easily shatter a diamond with a hammer. It's hard but brittle, like a Japanese knife.

A diamond, yes. A carbon-fiber matrix containing an array of nanodiamonds would be VERY VERY difficult to break.

Funny. You should know what I mean: if you package it right, such a battery can be very hard to break.
