Hi Bruce,
	 This seems to me to be one of the BEST unbiased reports on the batteries in question is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery  Be sure to scroll down to the section on "Safety". I am still trying to fine something definitive on the problems on "explosions" of the Li-on battery. Most (if not all) that I can find are about damaging the battery on purpose in order to make it do something it was never intender to do. Kinda like using a lighter to see if the fluid level is "up" in a 6 or 12 volt tractor battery while charging it--NOT A GOOD PRACTICE and bound to cause problems.

I did and got this https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=18650%20battery%20review That page told me about the difference between "brands" of 18650 batteries, but not much about the danger(s) of charging them. I think, perhaps, this "danger" may be about like that of Black Helicopters. If someone can direct be to where I can find out about the 18650 battery causing a home fire, or killing someone I would sure like to know about it.

E.D.'s enthusiasm for cheapazz landfill fodder is one thing, but once you dive into poor quality lithium-ion batteries you could burn your house down or even kill someone.  Crossed a line,  E.D.
