Walter, your point is well taken.  The original post needs to be studied.

This thread has been good to increase my awareness.

Thanks for the bandwidth,

Lithium ion batteries which are in a completely controlled charging and discharging environment, like in a phone or laptop, are generally safe. Well, except for the Samsung Galaxy Note S7. The best guess I’ve heard about that problem is that the various functions were so complicated and overlapping that they could overload the battery and overheat it.
