When I mentioned it last time, there were people claiming that these no longer posed the fire risks that older lithium batteries did....can anyone expand on that, particularly with documented/cited sources to back it up? I'd love to make the switch next time I'm due for batteries, but I'm gonna need more peace of mind

Do you have space in the backyard for a detached shed/polebarn?
