	Please be aware that every battery will expand when malfunctioning / shortcircuited / punctured / too hot etc. Lithium battery safety is an interesting topic by itself. So no, this will never be on sale here. Build your own if you know what you're doing. Ask your friends and listen to them, if not. As for battery life, since this is liquid chemistry, you don't want to stress it. Meaning low or overcharge, mainly. If you allow for 10% at each end, meaning you neither fully charge nor discharge it, livespan can surpass 10 years.

	This project considers at least three separate safety aspects: using a commercial charge controller tailored for the cell used, using a commercial battery matching the charge controller, physical safety to ensure the pack can expand somehow. You have been warned. It's not even about electricity, it's just that Li is number 3 in the periodic system, number 1 is hydrogen. If you don't understand that, don't even start.
