No one on this post bashed your choice for buying electric. This post was a warning that if you do have lithium-powered items in your home, be careful! Chemicals you cannot see or smell will ignite and your entire home will burn down because chemical fires are extremely difficult to extinguish. (even by highly trained firemen) Make certain your batteries have no leaks or damage and purchase the brand of battery the manufacturer suggests. I would also add, make certain your charger does not have a faulty wiring system.
