Actually I am very uncomfortable with the rechargeable items... It means there are a battery inside. And most consumer battery are lithium ion battery. And those are prompt to very bad accident... Something like burning... Or explosion... Look at so many mobile phone and even chargeable personal mobility devices.

But if those OEM stuff works out, guess who'd be the first to use it on advertisements, "works in extreme climate!"...?

China uses mostly LFP. It's not too bad with runaway reactions.

I mean, you would think that PLA before procuring these, would conduct tests on these products to see if they are safe or not, right?

While everyone is talking about the merits/demerits of rechargeable items I think we are missing out on the big picture here — electrically powered items for casual use are being equipped enmass. This implies stable supply of electrical power in the forward areas, which can’t be guaranteed by solar or diesel generators. Let that sink in for a minute.

You imply the use of some new power source? Mini-reactors?
