Respectfully, I stand by my three points of Li-Ion batteries as they relate to enterprise class NVRAM: ignition risk, thermal wear-out, and proprietary design. As a prior post stated, there is a dearth of published failure statistics of Li-Ion based BBUs. > I can easily point out a company that has shipped tens of > thousands of such boards over last 10 years. No argument here, I would venture the risks for consumer based Li-Ion based products did not become apparent or commonly accepted until the user base grew several orders of magnitude greater than "tens of thousands". For the record, I agree there is a marked convenience with an integrated high energy Li-Ion battery solution - but at what cost? We chose an external solution because it is a proven and industry standard method of enterprise class data backup.
