I only buy portable Li-ion batteries from manufacturers with a history of product recalls in my country or directly from major retailers that regularly recall defective products.

I also only buy portable battery models that I believe will sell or has sold many thousands of units so any widespread manufacturering defects should become apparent sooner.

Yeah, I see your point, never thought of it that way.

Just also darkly hilarious — “I only buy <PRODUCT> with a history of product recalls”.

There was a time in which we used to avoid such things…
