The notes still exist on the Robbe website for these batteries here:

Ro-Power : Specially treated Lithium material: batteries do not burn and do not explode, even if mishandled in any of the following ways:
# Drilling a 5 mm Ø hole through the pack
# Bending the pack along its length with a force of 13 kN
# Slitting the centre of the cell, approx. 15 mm
# Heating to 150°C for ten minutes
# Overcharging at 5 Volts and 0.4 C for about 2.5 hours
# Reversed-polarity charging at 5 Volts and 0.4 C for about 2.5 hours
# Short-circuiting with 100 mOhm for 2.5 hours
Amazing. I'd be interested to know what the difference is with these packs. It would appear they are higher voltage 4.20V (Li-Po?) packs with some of the advantages of A123s (safety).
