@lauren holy crap. I've always traveled with one. Heck, I have a battery that's almost ten years old. Yikes.But I have not bought cheap off-brand ones. Always a reputable brand.

@lauren Isn’t a laptop, tablet, or cell phone just a battery pack with advanced features? Isn’t any one of them as likely as any other to catch fire?

@timswan Pretty much, depending on battery type and capacity and design.
