And not just 3rd party batteries. Sony had some embarassing Li-ion QC
problems and has had to recall approx. 10 million Li-ion batteries
affecting numerous products.

If the big QC conscious companies can sometimes get it so wrong what do
you think you might get from ebay for $3.95? BTW, Texas Instruments
sells a charge/discharge/short circuit safety control chipset for Li-ion
batteries. Last I looked these were about $2.50 each in quantities of
about 10,000. Guess what is probably not in your ebay battery.
