G'day, NiMH's are far less susceptible than the NiCads to memory effect as well as being more environmentally friendly to dispose of. I can only talk from experience with electric bicycles but the history there is that documented fires caused by Li batteries were those using lithium cobalt phosphate. Lithium manganese phosphate batteries are starting to become popular and I haven't heard of any fire issues with them though I'm told its theoretically possible. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are just begining to come out of the lab and into the market and they don't have those problems. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
