I see what you are saying. Only the link states just topic sentences, nothing really technical describing the batteries internals.

When the day comes we need fire proof battery boxes in an Rv like the Tesla automobile I think it time to step away from technology and rethink simple. As everyone knows there is no such thing as a free lunch, so any so called advance has to come with a trade off. Cannot see buying 800 dollar batteries and then spend the same for a good charger to keep from having fire or explosion.
