[Elecraft] Being cautious around Li-Ion Batteries

[Barry]

Don't blame the technology.  Blame the poor manufacturing process and the
lack of quality control so rampant in China.  Remember the Chinese drywall
that was shipped to Florida and emitted toxic gasses?  Would you tell people
not to use drywall in their homes?  Remember the Chinese pet food that
killed a lot of cats and dogs?

A Tesla Model S has 7000 Li ion batteries in it.  They aren't blowing up
(OK, there was one fire 2-3 years ago in a  Tesla that ran over a metal
spike which punctured the battery compartment.)
