Hmmm, in that case, I better get rid of my cell phone since cell phones use lithium batteries. I think that one of the cell phone manufacturers did have an overheating issue several years ago, but have since corrected that issue. Yes, lithium batteries can be troublesome BUT I had to replace lead acid batteries every four or five years when they got so weak that they were useless. Plus, I had to remember to constantly add distilled water to them weekly. The acid stains on the concrete are almost impossible to remove. Never have to worry about that again, with lithium. Yes, I will avoid submerging my cart in water because lithium and water do not get along at all. If you are concerned about the safety issue of lithium, put your mind at ease and purchase a fossil fuel cart.
