And yet folks and possibly even posters to this thread plug in laptops, phones, tablets and any other device that has some sort of lithium chemistry that is even more unstable than lfp in their homes, vehicles, rvs and not think twice to walk away while it charges.
Uuuuuuhhh ... but aren't those LITTLE TINY, low-cell-count, or single cell lithium batteries ... with little tiny electronic circuits charging them ... with consequently only little tiny fires that might result from failure of those little tiny electronic circuits to not properly treat the lithium chemistry?
Take a look inside this typical large RV lithium battery - notice all the cells with all those interconects between all those cells - and that good sized circuit board at the top that's probably loaded with intergrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, voltage regulators, temperature sensors, etc., etc.. You want to trust all this stuff to never go hay-wire inside an area where you're sleeping, or where you're pet is sleeping while you're gone? Not me:

(I won't own an electric car quite yet, either, for the same reason. ;) )
