On takeoff after 100 kts and before V1 call the crew heard rapid bells from the flight attendants and screaming from the cabin. The pilot initially suspected a security incident and intended to continue. The bells continued rapidly and the screaming became louder. The flight crew could hear "FIRE" being yelled and "Stop". About the same time the pilot smelled smoke and decided to reject.
After determining the source of the smoke was a portable lithium battery that was sparking, the crew coordinated with CFR to remove the battery from the airplane to prevent an evacuation.
The brakes were damaged and fused after the reject procedure.
