Li Ion batteries are still the most energy-dense and cost effective solution for many applications.
Improperly-declared battery cargoes - transported out of compliance with IMDG Code rules - are a significant hazard. But under current regulations, shippers can pack as many small batteries as they want into a standard box without telling the carrier what's inside
Seems to me that this is the problem. Just start enforcing rules that close this loophole
wasn't NiMH safer in both regards?
Yes but half the energy density. Are you ok with your devices lasting half as long or being twice as heavy / large?
Safer? Yes, absolutely.
Not nearly as energy dense though.
