Pack and battery are matched; interchanging packs and batteries can lead to that lovely event which li-ion manufacturers call `venting with flame' and the rest of us call `explosion'. But why they don't ship li-ion *packs* to us, I can't understand --- except inasmuch as it forces us to buy new *units* every few years rather than merely new batteries, even if our existing unit is working fine save for the batteries. > Lithium ion batteries contain a much smaller amount of lithium than other > lithium batteries..
