Hmm, why wouldn't they be certified? I suppose you will get a small number of people rolling their own (which is going on right now, with people reusing 18650s)

Hmm, why wouldn't they be certified? I suppose you will get a small number of people rolling their own (which is going on right now, with people reusing 18650s), but I assume it shouldn't be hard to require all commercially available units to be certified, we do that for furnaces, water heaters, etc.
- colechristensen 7y agoIt wouldn't be hard to require, it would be very hard to enforce with high coverage. One these things become popular, just go on eBay or Amazon and buy a cheap one. There are loads and loads of electrical devices which are required to be certified which you can buy which are clearly not.
- blacksmith_tb 7y agoThat's certainly possible, anyone can walk into a Home Depot and buy a breaker box (which is certified) and install it themselves (well or badly), but realistically that doesn't seem to happen so often it's a serious problem, partly because we have home inspections to catch the unsafe botched attempts (when they try to sell their death-trap homes).
