Dave M, I hope we are able to hear your thoughts on the issues Gordo raised. Thanks in advance for the time to read and respond.
Also, what happened, and when, that allowed two manufacturers to be able to have reference to the AMA Safety Alert in their ads before the alert was issued to the membership? If it's all that important, wouldn't we want the info to the members pronto, and not to the advertizers first? Isn't the AMA, intentionally or not, sending business their way?
I like the idea of the added safety feature, as explosions are BAD, but it seems like there was some under the table info going to someone to allow the manufacturers the time to get the reference in their ads before press. Why would anyone from Muncie allow the info to be given to a manufacturer which could use it to influence a buying decision? I sound like a jerk right now, but do some of EC members own stock in these companies, or what???
Personally, my charger automatically senses the cell count, and I always set the rate a hair below 1C, (I own only one capacity of cell as well...) so I feel confident without the circuits.
Is the EC or Safety Committee leaning towards a rule at this point, or are we going to stick with information sharing to help with the "Lithium Issue"?
Thanks again,
Frank B.
