It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

  • Li-Ion cells from vendors other than Panasonic, LG, Sony, Samsung have much higher failure rates even when the battery is otherwise executed correctly. They couldn't set an unprotected MG1 on fire via over discharging or overcharging.The internal cell pressure disconnect open the circuit.
    • LFP is inherently safer and it's okay from other vendors. It's cheaper too, but lower density - less range.
