Ever since a duff exploding battery incident about 4 years ago, I have taken to buying (at my own expense) the GP (Gold Peak) equivalents of the "official" batteries of Japanese the manufacturers.
They (the GP ones) are far cheaper, works just as well or better (they have larger capacity ones that the "official" manufacturers don't produce) and they have NEVER been known to over heat, catch fire or explode. So much for the highly praised Japanese quality control procedures when a tiny, little Singaporean company, manufacturing in China, can show them how it is done properly !!
Having said that, it could be that these batteries were shipped by mistake to the general public, since they could have been ordered by the Ninjas as disguised hand-grenades !!
