No more dangerous than your laptop computer, power tools, cell phone, e-book readers, electric toothbrushes, Bluetooth headphones/earpieces, digital cameras, game controllers, smart watches, key fobs and more that run on Lithium Ion batteries. The newer Lithium Ion Iron Phosphate (LFP or LiFePO4) batteries are even safer than the original Lithium Ion Cobalt batteries, hold their charge longer & have a longer lifespan. BTW, have you noticed that the golf cart fires in TV have all been gas powered carts? Lithium Ion battery fires are so rare that the press likes to focus on them just like they did with the rare cases of COVID deaths to young healthy people. The media loves a good fear-factor story! As for electric golf carts, I love mine as do everyone I know who has one.
