G+_Larry Havenstein Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I have a friend whose house burnt down due to a LiPo fire from his notebook. This would be a great improvement in safety and peace of mind. I am surprised we don't see more fires from them actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Lipos are safe if handled right. Companies have product liability insurance. These insurance companies just don't hand out policies (I've always had a very tough time getting liability insurance for my company) And if its UL listed, its doubly insured.

G+_Larry Havenstein Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 can also be due to poorly made batteries. In the case of that notebook it had the Sony batteries that had issues and were recalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 poorly made is in the same school as mistreated: its not the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
