  Yes, please, they are very welcome for large energy storages. And as article states, not for anything that requires energy density (mobile devices, EVs and such).

    But do they catastrophically explode for no apparent reason?

  Just give me the batteries nintendo put in the ds lites. I just brought out the broken hinge dsl while packing to move and powered it on. 100% battery after ?? years. Literally no other battery I have ever owned can do this even if disconnected.

    They’re lithium ion. It’s probably got more to do with good hardware design.

      I find it hard to believe that they kept 100% charge for years even if perfectly designed. 🤷‍♂️
