Sorry to bring up something from a few days ago but oh well.

I dont know if this is true but ive been told by someone who owns a shop that asked the mirage rep and acroding to her he said:
"He said that Team Orion have redesigned their batteries, so rather than 5 cells on top each other carring 20% of the charge each, they're now doing them with 50 cells side by side carrying a lot less charge each so if they go bang, they just fizzle a bit rather than full-on fireworks."

Just something ive heard.

Does this concern still exist?

So for me, regardless of ontrack performance, until any safety concerns are clarrified (officially and not by any 'know-it-all' on here) id like to keep them away.
