Completely agree with you. The thing is I have never really liked the battery that caught fire. But I kept it anyway as I could use it for practice. I am sure many of us have batteries just like this that we use for practice. If I could offer some advice, if you are using it for practice only because you suspect something is not quite right, whether it's not holding the charge it once did, takes longer to charge or doesn't have the power it once did. Then it may be time to recycle them. My .02 cents
