The little Austrian lamp I sell on CapLamps uses a LiPo battery, and that's fully CE certified, and in the words of the Chinese lamp vendor who used to spam me "it no cause an explosion yet"...

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

I assume everyone here using these cells in series balances them regularly?

This poses an interesting question. (My lamps charge with a balance charger, hence a 'third lead')

How do lamps like Stens and Scurrions that use batteries in series maintain balance? Do they have a 3 terminal plug for charging or something?
I have seen quite a few but never thought to look for anything like this.

My avatar is a poor likeness.

I have no idea what the designer lamps use (way too rich for my blood).

It's entirely possible to have a 2 pin charge lead, and yet balance the cells with a battery management PCB. They are usually integrated into packs.
