<DIV><FONT size=2>The Guy who told me about the Duraflame syndrome happened to
be in his shop when a pack that was just sitting on the bench by itself
decided it was not warm enough in the shop for it and burst into flames. If he
had not been in the shop the place would have gone up big time. He gave us the
thumbs down and I haven't used them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>They will both "vent in flame" if overcharged, so in this
case, they are the same. One may be marginally less dangerous than the other,
that's about it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>In the case I am so personally familiar with, there was a
power surge and the diode was apparently blown...so much for "charge safe
technology" huh? If it was an isolated incident, that may be different.
Unfortunately it's common....too common it seems. Note the phrase in the
warning "MANY fires".</FONT></DIV>
