Lithiun Ion Battery Caution

Have been reading about a problem had with one of these new Li Ion car batteries over on a another forum. One caught on fire in a car, and if you read down in this thread, you see the OP conversed with the mfr, and was told that it was probably (and in general can be) caused by jump starting it...! Never knew that..... I won't be using any Li Ion batteries in my cars for general starting and operation..

Lithium Batteries in your Opel - Experiences?

Any other info appreciated.
