Re: [CQ-Contest] Exploding Noise Cancelling Headphones

No cell phone Steve?

When I'm in my car, my butt is sitting about 24 inches above 7000+ Li 
Ion cells configured in series-parallel modules to output 400V at a peak 
of about 1000A.  I feel safer with that than sitting above 20 gallons of 
a flammable, carcinogenic liquid.  It's all about battery quality.  I'll 
bet that exploding battery was made in China.
