Hi-Tech Fail: Now a fact of life, Lithium Batteries kill! Is it all about Money & ‘Forever Wars’?

Incomplete list, mainly links to main stream news media reports, of  global lithium battery shenanigans:

Finally, after decades of lithium battery production, lithium battery makers are working to create Guidelines for Safe Transport of Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers!

It is about the money and war; aircraft battery charging, including drones/RC planes that use lithium batteries, is projected to rake-in more than USD (U.S. Dollar)$1-billion by 2030!  One new lithium battery contract is worth more than $16-million, for the new Littoral Battlespace Sensing-Gliders (drones). And that is just for air-vehicle batteries.

Recycling of just lithium-ion batteries, from all sources, is expected to make more than USD$6-billion by 2030!

Idaho hospital bans smartphones, as lithium batteries set fire to Boise State University!

13 December 2016 (11:33 UTC-07 Tango 06) 23 Azar 1395/13 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1438/15 Geng Zi 4714

Saint Luke’s Health System (supposedly now the largest employer in The Gem State) has banned the spontaneously combustable Samsung Galaxy 7 ‘smart’ phone at all its locations.

The ban applies to employees as well as patients and comes after a charging lithium battery is suspected of setting fire to an office building on Boise State University campus, on 03 December 2016.  Smartphones use lithium batteries, and it’s not just Samsung phones that are spontaneously lighting up.

Recently news media in China reported that at least eight Apple iPhone 6s exploded.  Of course Apple denies there’s a problem (even though there are increasing reports from around the world of iPhones exploding), just like Samsung first ignored reports about their phones exploding.

Then there’s reports of ‘smart’ phone chargers themselves causing explosions in Australia.  Fire investigators in New South Wales concluded the fire was caused when the charger overheated the battery causing it to explode.  By the way, it was an Apple iPhone 6.

But it’s not just those dumb smartphones, even GPS systems have exploded.  In one case it was claimed that by leaving a GPS on your vehicle’s dashboard, exposed to the Sun, can cause the litium-ion batteries to explode.

You can’t use that excuse on all those exploding phones that were tucked away in people’s pants pockets.

A Tesla in Germany that spontaneously combusted

Let’s not forget that lithuim using Tesla cars have been exploding in Germany, United States and Mexico.  And as Recently as August Tesla cars began exploding in France!
