New Dremel cordless

Hopefully, (and I accent the "hopefully") the manufacturers have done 
their homework.  Then again, maybe not; I really don't know.  But, as 
Bob suggests, I will be keeping an eye on it when it's on charge, at 
least for awhile.  However, I am wondering if the problem doesn't rest 
with using chargers that are a mismatch with these batteries, at least 
in most of the cases.  Yeah, I know there are exceptions in the case of 
cell phones, etc. etc. but I will be using the Dremel supplied charger.
And, I just can't help but wonder:  are people lumping this technology 
in with the Lithium-Poly stuff?  Which seems to be much more critical?  
Again--I really don't know.
