[RE-wrenches] Lithium battery fires

[Dan Fink]

Safer LiFePO4 vs. "lithium ion" NMC formulation for ESS is also important
to carefully explain to customers--especially since the UN 3480/3481 hazmat
shipping labels and regulations group them both into the same category of
"Lithium Ion" and that's what stamped and placarded on the box. Ran into
this with a floatplane transport situation for a remote location. Had to
longline them under a heli a week later on a separate trip with the other
dangerous stuff even though they were LiFePO4 and not NMC.
