[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 653270, member: 3775"] A lot these batteries that catch fire are mainly from cheap internet stores, and quite a few of them can't / shouldn't be charged in 40 to 50* Temps, In 40* while charging they can reach over 65/70* which is beyoned the point of no return, Good quality SoGens have Fans inside and their chargers are also fan cooled, I have others that don't have fans but when they are built properly when put on charge their temperature will not rise even One Degree regardless of the weather, As for the portable Lanterns I use due to the massive run times it is pointless to even use rechargeable batteries because their run times are such that it would cost more to keep recharging the batteries to match the run times of disposable batteries than it would to buy one set of disposable batteries, I also have fuelled Lanterns as backups but as yet I have never needed them, I have spent a small fortune on testing and I have been doing tests for the past 18 months and for once I have found one of the very few Items that actually works the way we dream about instead of finding that they don't even match the wild claims written on the Boxes.
