Lithium-ion batteries have terrific properties that have caused a revolution in everything from tiny flashlights to Ford trucks. Yes, you have to take them seriously if they show any sign of having a physical failure, such as swelling or smoking (fave.co/3HTaKw7), but that is fortunately an incredibly rare occurrence relative to the vast number of lithium-ion batteries in use.
