Narrative:
United Airlines Flight 1536, while taxiing to the gate after landing from San Francisco, California to Jackson Hole, Wyoming (JAC), declared an emergency due to a lithium-ion battery related incident in the aircraft cabin. A sunglass case containing a small spare lithium battery for a personal headlamp and a set of keys began to smolder. The flight attendant put the battery in a container of ice which stopped the smoldering of the battery.
The return leg back to San Francisco was delayed by 90 minutes.
