True. There’s lots of pretty dodgy cells floating around these days, and they are often marked as being from more reputable manufacturers… I’m speaking mostly of packaging batteries 18650 and larger (probably smaller too) rolled type batteries, though I assume there’s shitty prismatic/pouch types as well.
I didn’t see anything like that in OP’s image, which is why I wasn’t advising undue caution. Personally I try very hard to stick with reputable brands and establish manufacturers when playing around with bare cells, power banks, weird Amazon gadgets, etc.
I’m certainly not a proper expert either. I do try to exercise an abundance of caution with unknown or questionable products, damaged cells, etc.
Years ago when getting into quadcopters/drones I read some good advice; high powered batteries should be treated more like fuel than traditional NiCad/NiMh batteries. That advice has always served me well.

I mean… there’s that company big ass fans, I feel like they definitely refer to it as such ;-)

It’s fine. Even if they were lithium batteries —still fine. See battery manufacturers actually design batteries specifically so that they don’t fail catastrophically (🤯 crazy right?) but it’s true. Turns out they have whole-ass warehouses full of them.
Obviously it’s possible for lithium batteries to fail catastrophically, but this isn’t a typical failure mode. Generally catastrophic failures happen when a battery is damaged and or under load.
Typical household batteries are not as energy dense as EV batteries. And are not packed as densely such that a single cell puffing won’t cause a cascading failure.
I do recommend keeping them in bags to contain leaks, coin cells are generally already well packed, but it can’t hurt. It’s also not a terrible idea to write the date you bought them on the bags and properly dispose of them after ~5 years.

My radio dummy tip (I’d definitely not an expert) is definitely go outside when scanning for interesting stuff to listen to. It took me a few afternoons of scanning to find anything, let alone anything interesting. Hopefully you’ll have better luck :-)

LOL, I’d suggest a USB power strip to keep them charged. If you really want to get rid of them something like a local Boy Scout troop maybe? Obviously they have issues, there might be some other outfit like a local ARRL group.

- Comment on What's your favorite ship or class of ship? 2 months ago:
Damn that’s tough. I’m theoretically watching DS-9 right now, so either the USS To Little To Late AKA The ooooo it’s got guns we never fire… or any of The Kardashian ships because they remind me a bit of Captain Nemo’s sub in the Disney version of 20kl Under the Sea. Which is my jam… if you can’t get behind James Mason and a singing harbor seal then you need to rethink your life.
I’m just presuming a Kilo League is a metrical unit, and I’m just going to leave Kardashian as is because it made me laugh. Somebody needs to AI up a picture of one of their ships with a big zipper in the rear 😝😵

Oh man 😝 Like 3 months ago I dropped a tube of classy chapstick and realized it was mostly regular-sized chapstick with a classy cover.

I’m seeing like the long 90’s Batmobile but like a cheesy lake paddle boat version… maybe a Pontiac Aztec?
