Bet the laptop was made in China too.
You read my mind. Got me to thinking about my '69 Dodge 4x4, and others trucks from that time, with the gas tank in the cab behind the seat!
It all boils down to energy density. Life p04 isn't nearly as energy dense as li-ion or li-po. Higher energy density has greater risk of going boom. Just how it is. Any lithium battery that fails will be proportional to its state of charge. Having said that, there a huge push to "recycle" used ev batteries into this kind of stuff. They won't see the high cyclic rates ev batteries do, so the thought it to use grid scale storage as an end of life cycle before "recycling" the ev batteries. It's an interesting concept but I think it will be much more difficult in practice.I'm surprised anyone is using lithium ion for gird scale power storage. Lifepo4 is less $$$$/kwh and hugely safer.
Maybe check and see if the governor or her husband is on the board of any of these companies. Follow the money.

How does she get re-elected?Our wonderful Governor, Wretched Whitmer signed into law, a bill that removed control of where Townships (like ours) could control where solar or wind installations could be located and turned that control over to the State department of Environmental control and that includes battery storage installations and we now have an outfit that wants to locate a large battery storage facility right behind some residential housing. it will be a Li-Ion battery storage facility and our local fire department is ill equipped to fight a battery fire if one occurs and under the new law, they can locate them anywhere without township control.
In essence, they could locate a Li-Ion battery storage facility on my farm ground behind our home as they can exercise the right of imminent domain as well.
Our Governor dances in lockstep with the current administration and she' is of course, a Democrat and no, I did not vote for her either.
I for one, don't want a huge Li-Ion battery facility anywhere near us but now, we have no choice. I'm not against wind or solar power, but I am against where it's located in our very rural township.
Talk about a bad law, there is is.

Let’s please keep the politics in the P&R threads.How does she get re-elected?
