It would be nice if they would switch to safer batteries like LiFePO4 for power banks. They rarely catch fire and you can put them out with a fire extinguisher.
Less energy density, though.
On the other hand, maybe a less-fire-risky battery would be grounds for increasing the current 100Wh maximum that the FAA places on laptop batteries.
I would much rather have a safer battery, even if it's a bit bigger and heavier.
