Fred's concern's noted. Consider however how infrequently laptops and cell
phones catch fire and explode compared to the numbers in use - and almost
all now use LiPoly or the less common (but safer) LiFePO4 technology. With
any rechargeable Lithium technology proper charging techniques and
discharging habits are important for longevity and utmost safety.

I posted a link to the wrong battery pack. They appear to be the same, but
the ones linked to are not in stock. These are the ones I am using:

I can't personally vouch for the quality of these particular batteries, only
time will tell.
