  4. Interesting battery discussion, i would have never thought small battery would cause a fire , but i guess its possible, i have many battery powered tools, saws, drills, impact wrenches, and i take special care when charging them also, i never charge them directly after use, the battery is usually hot, so i let it cool for a few hrs before charging, i think what really concerns me is leaving battery maintainers on equipment i use rarely, never had a problem, but it is concerning keeping them plugged in all the time. Intersting enough i have several of those going all the time and the only one i ever had to go bad was a Dewalt, and i paid a lot for it just to get a good one. Goes to show you, never know, and the chinese ones still going good. Battery boxes also concern me, im not talking about the cell phone size ones, i have a few that i use rarely because they are annoying, never have power when you need it, have to keep pressing that little button, im talking about the big ones that take a small battery and amp it up. I have had more of these go bad and internally short, no fire just sparks but most just die. I am extremly careful with those.

  5. I do too Jen . Lithium Ion batteries are great for capacity and holding their charge; but they must be charged with chargers designed for them, not with ones for NiMH batteries. Another caution for Li ion ones is to keep them out of the sun where they could get overheated. Li FePO4 batteries used in solar systems and power stations are much safer than the older Li ion batteries but they still need to be charged with chargers designed to work with them, and they cannot be used for starting service as they are designed for a long draw at low amps (deep cycle) rather than the short heavy draw of a starting battery
