I'm writing an article on how Insurance companies feel about lithium batteries. I think there is something more than just the battery. I expect it is a double issue with the battery having metal particle defects and the charging circuit (fast charge) putting the current too high.
So just changing out the batteries didn't solve the problem. They had two battery cell providers and initially, the problem only occurred with one.
