With all the new of these smart phones with lithium batteries catching fire and previously those hover board thingys with similar problems that supposedly had LI .. is there a general concern with lithium ion batteries?
I have several cordless power tools that used LI batteries. Should I be concerned?
That problem has been around at least a decade.. Only Batteries I have ever heard of in the LiOn type catching fire all had one thing in common. MADE IN CHINA
Thousands of people have not had a phone or laptop or "other" LiOn battery catch fire. Make that Millions.. Mine did not though I did have one that was recalled.. I sent it in they sent me a new one, also Made In China, it too did not catch fire.
