    Safety isn't the only concern. You can charge LFP to 100% without the worry of degradation that happens with the other chemistries. LFP also doesn't have the concerns that come up with using cobalt.

    I've been charging batteries for decades, is the concern overblown, other than cheap Chinese junk?
