Good Job Nico--we here advocate saftey and those that do not concern themselfs with it really should think again--that is why you can not buy these batteries in your local stores and only online. A Protected battery stops these batteries from shorting out and blowing up-So it is not just charging that is the issue.
Again, here on the Fourm we advocate the use of protected batteries ---for a good reading on the dangers and precautions on these batteries see Lithium-ion safety concerns
So please --no ranting about this issue--if you choose not to use them that is fine--but it is not what we advocate for here on the Forum in the name of saftey.-----Sun (As moderator for the Modders Fourm)
Amen, I have learned so much from what you modders have done just reading here. I am completely for as much safety as possible myself. I just believe people should know and understand the difference between using cut off switches and protected or unprotected batteries. There are so many of the new people that are absolutely clueless to these issues that are buying these things and aren't really well informed enough to discern and make an informed choice. People are free to do what they want, but I do believe they should be informed. I was one of them to start with, but I chose to read and listen and make my own decisions on what I wanted. It's just sad that some of the new people just don't understand the options and possible cautions they should take when deciding on buying and using a device.
