    consumers don’t want bigger batteries, this is just a gimmick until it scales; but it has the potential to blow lithium out of the water on cost and consumers do want cheaper shit.

        I doubt most people have had a bad experience with lithium so they might be (actually they are) safer but the average person literally doesn’t care.

        I’ve shorted lithium cells before and even I don’t blink when it comes to carrying one in my pocket all day long.

          I agree in the general case, but I’ve met a few Spicy Pillows personally, and would very much like to not do so again, so I do also think safety is a thing at least some people think about.

          Just remind everyone of the Galaxy Note 7.
