Hi Steve,
Not sure what you mean when you say they look dangerous, but I suppose if they are powering a weapon system that you're on the wrong end of...
Anyhow, FWIW, I do know that Saft has been selling batteries to the civilian aircraft market for many years. I've seen them installed on a lot of airplanes. Based on that observation alone I'm pretty sure they are a well-established company, and because they sell to the military and aerospace markets it's probably safe to assume they have a robust quality control program. Keep in mind, however, that you'd be paying a premium to cover the QC paperwork that those industries require, which doesn't necessarily guarantee a superior product.
