Message	Watch out for Lithium batteries. Their failure mode can be an internal dead short (which can cause a fire) rather than an open circuit failure (dead battery) that is standard with lead-acid batteries. Note fire problems with the relatively small lithium batteries in laptops and cell phones. See also Boeing 777 grounded for months with lithium battery fire problems.
