All good information in the above link.

• Use common sense.
  
  
• Don't carry spare batteries in your pocket or purse where they can come into contact with loose change or keys - use plastic battery cases.
  
  
• Don't skimp on buying cheap batteries or a cheap charger. Buy quality batteries and chargers, they'll be well worth it in the long run.
  
  
• Purchase only recognizeable & reputable brand-name batteries like AW, LG, MNKE, Orbtronics, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony.
  
  
• Purchase brand-name chargers like Pila, Xtar, Nitecore, and Efest.
  
  
• Only use IMR or IMR/hybrid safe-chemistry batteries, not protected ICR batteries.
  
  • List of IMR & IMR/hybrid batteries
  
  
• Use the appropriate battery for the specified application. Check battery specifications.
  
  
• Don't over-charge or over-discharge batteries.
  
  
• Don't buy any battery with "fire" in the name - Surefire, Trustfire, Ultrafire.
  
  
• Don't use generic batteries or batteries harvested from lap top computers.
  
  
• Be aware of fake or counterfeit batteries made to look like AW or Sony batteries. Buy from reputable battery vendors like RTD Vapor, Illumination Supply, or Orbtronics who can verify the source of their batteries directly from the manufacturers. Many of the batteries sold on EBay or Amazon are counterfeits and could be dangerous if used in a mod.
