The big snag with Lithium batteries is their nasty tendency to catch fire spectacularly.
You can design the battery monitoring circuitry to prevent them doing it spontaneously. Electric bikes and the like may not be big enough to justify the expense, but electric cars and domestic solar panel back-up batteries certainly are.
Any event that physically damages the battery can also set it on fire if you are unlucky enough. The newspapers are great at reporting lithium battery fires, and much less good at reporting the stupidity that lit them.
A guy at nearby Newcastle University is an expert on such incidents - there isn't any good way to put such fires out either.
Too true, but they shouldn't happen in the first place.
