Chill, buddy.

pfft ok kiddo

NASA has been flying batteries on manned missions for decades.

yeah how many lion batteries in cell phones have gone up. Feel free to use your fingers and toes to count if it helps lol.

numpty.

If your all-caps nonsense were a real problem, then NASA could just use something other than lithium ion like NiCad.

you ever swapped the li-on i a cell phone for something else? no. phones are tailored to the battery chemistry they're designed for. also, ever done it in a hasty rush to meet a launch schedule?

do you expect the battery monitoring system to suddenly work with a new battery chemistry?

goddamn bro, try harder ffs

What, precisely, are you suggesting is different about cell phone batteries that wouldn't also apply to the batteries in NASA's DSLRs and GoPros?
