Lithium batteries are complicated, and the article is not very specific. I assume this site was going to use LiFePO4, which is no more unstable than NiMH, but the other chemistries, like lithium-cobalt, tend to catch on fire when mishandled. Guess which is on the news more, and therefore which a group of people who weren’t interested in battery chemistries would have heard of? 🙄
