   I post what I've seen at reliable sources, it's as cautious as the battery   
   manufacturers choose to be.   
      
   Personally I test batteries by loading them down with a carbon pile until   
   they scream for mercy, and rarely mention the results because they vary so   
   widely. I tested stuff to and beyond its limits professionally and have   
   acquired or built the gear to find those limits at home. I don't blow up   
   batteries any more but I have tested circuit breakers to destruction.   
      
   UL "safety" testing is -dangerous-, much smoke and flame. The old theatre   
   curtain recipe of dipping cotton cloth in a solution of alum and borax   
   really does let it pass the vertical burning test.
