Why are we still underestimating lithium-ion batteries when they hold so much power—and not just literally? This summer, the WHY (What Hackers Yearn) event in the Netherlands showcased just how much respect these batteries deserve. Yet, we see people treating them like disposable junk, not realizing the catastrophic potential of poor handling. I can't help but get furious when I see tech enthusiasts using cheap knock-offs and ignoring safety protocols. Just last week, I witnessed a friend’s device explode due to a subpar battery. It’s time we wake up! These batteries aren't mere components; they are ticking time bombs if mishandled. Are we really going to continue playing with fire? Let’s demand better education and safer practices across the board! https://hackaday.com/2025/11/04/lithium-ion-batteries-why-they-demand-respect/ #LithiumIon #BatterySafety #TechResponsibility #Innovation #WakeUp
