Samsung's safety validation for unprotected cells includes charging at 2.8 amps at both +12VDC and -12VDC(!) for 2.5 hours, short-circuit for 3 hours, and a bake test of 130*C for 1 hour, along with various drop, puncture, and vibration torture. The cells must survive with "no fire, no explosion" - they may not be usable any more after that abuse, but it's unlikely they'll kill you. :)
So I tell my wife the other night about finding my EDC and how it went through the snowblower and all that. Her response: "Well I don't understand how that light is any different from what you could buy at Harbor Freight." It wasn't worth my energy to try to explain and she wouldn't care anyway.
Clearly you need to buy one of every light at Harbour Freight and feed them one at a time through the snow blower till she understands the difference. Also make a video of that and you tube it for us.
No, IMO it is not worth explaining it, moreover I find it a healthy situation that I have my own piece of world that is alien to her, and so has she . As long as there is enough in common, it's fine like that.
Awesome that you found it and that it survived, Garry! Instant character on that light. Kinda like scars on a guy. Each one tells a story. Usually they are worth telling. Yours is!
