Kirk,  

This is not the first time that you've made similar statements.  What kind of lithium battery "accident" could sink a boat?  Keep in mind that most marine lithium battery banks are LiFePO4 cells, which have proven to be preferable to having propane anything, kerosene lanterns or even Flooded Lead Acid batteries on board.

1. Although, lead acid batteries are lower in cost and safety acceptable; however, they are extremely toxic, worse for the environmental concern, short cycle life, and heavy in weight.
2. Nickel Hydride battery has a characteristic of low power weight density, decayed faster under the high temperature, worse in memory effect, not suitable for high output usage.
3. The C-coated Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery has been proven as the most environmental friendly battery. It is the safest and most suitable for high output usage. It is also the best for storage battery usage.

The safety characteristics inherent to LiFePo4 technology result from the incorporation of phosphates as the cathode material. Phosphates are extremely stable in overcharge or short circuit conditions and have the ability to withstand high temperatures without decomposing. When abuse does occur, phosphates are not prone to thermal runaway and will not burn. As a result, LiFePo4 technology possesses safety characteristics that are fundamentally superior to those of lithium-ion batteries made with other cathode materials.

LiFePo4 technology does not contain any heavy metals and does not exhibit the "memory effect" of Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-metal Hydride solutions. LiFePo4 technology demonstrates excellent shelf life, long cycle life and is maintenance free.
