I agree even if its safer, do we need to prove it is? It has lithium in it and it can still catch fire. If it were mine i wouldn't trust it near my friends, house or me

The Lithium in these batteries isn't the elemental Lithium you might have seen burning in some old video for sciene class. The Lithium in these batteries is in a compound, so it's different.

I understand, but nobody has had a meltdown yet, to my knowledge, so we don't yet know if it will seperate. I'm just warning to possibilities. even if it doesn't catch fire it can possibly release a superheated gas that can hurt him or somebody else.

I understand the chemestry is different, but batteries are batteries and are volitle in nature, if not treated with respect will hurt somebody/thing

Squee, I know it might not help, but if nobody does anything, We'll never hear the end of it

Why did nobody tell me of the dangers?, ect, ect
