You mean Chinese products are defective?
Say it ain't so!
IOW, stop buying Ebay crap.
Sound advice, for sure.
“for Milwaukee M18” is not the same as “Milwaukee M18”.
I don’t charge batteries overnight anymore.
A friend has bought his wife a Tesla when she retired.
It charges overnight in his garage.
If it ever catches fire, he knows his house is gone. Lithium burns like magnesium when ignited. A fire captain friend said you would have to dump 5000 gallons of water on the battery pack in the first minute of the fire to put it out. By the time the fire truck cleared the station door the whole house would be consumed. He advised my friend to jump in the pool with a towel over his head.

Lithium batteries - the gift that keeps on burning 🔥 🤪
So electric vehicles have yet another downside.
Chicom li-ion batteries are always fakes,with capacity much less than advertised and often a different chemistry.
To their credit, many do have descriptive brand names, such as UltraFire.
I had to get up late last night to unplug my Drill battery ,D’oh
The reason is that when you buy the cheap ChiCom knock-offs such as those sold by Amazon, the third-party suppliers save money by omitting the safety circuit that prevents overcharging and over-discharging.
I use small rechargeable batteries, one resting on top of each ear about 16 hours per day.
OTOH, I’ve never had an undamaged electrical cord spontaneously erupt in flames.
There’s a place for battery-powered stuff.
Vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers ain’t that place.
The idolators of battery power are one of the more hardcore bands of zealots on the Earth.
