See this article in InfoWorld by Ephraim Schwartz for details. You may want to give it a once over if you currently use lithium-ion batteries."

    Ok. Those batteries you have there are unsafe. They could catch on fire or even explode!

    Fear not, I have the solution.

    Buy my safe batteries, free of pesky thermal runaway, free of fire, and annoying explosions.
