Lithium Ion batteries are one of the best technologies to use for a battery in portable electronics. They can also be one of the most dangerous if safety precautions are not taken. In this video I go into understanding what UL listing for a product means, and how it can help increase the safety of a product. Using this knowledge I show several battery protection techniques to help protect your circuit from catastrophic failure.
