Sorry guys, but I'm still a bit nervous about them Lithium Batteries.

I know they say they're safe, and all that, but...

Well, actually they are pretty safe, but the guys who sell them don't seem to want to answer the questions about why all the exploding ones were "different."

CPSC has had 12 (at least) official recalls for Lithium battery packs just in laptops, since 1996 (10 in the last 5 years), and I haven't attempted to keep track of the ones in GPS units, cell phones, etc.

Those are all small batteries, but this monster is gonna need about 300+ pounds of batteries. Mulitply the 1.5 pounder at the link by 200?

And 250 mile range wouldn't get me to Kansas City and back (a local trip here) on a single charge.
