Technically speaking the manufacturer’s advice is absolutely correct, and from my perspective what he is saying must be said because of liability reasons…

So as with most other day to day risk we endure in life it usually boils down to a matter of possibilities versus likelihood…

I recently posted about a lady distracted on a cell phone who then crossed over the center lane line and hit my rear dually and tore off the camper jack…Just another case of risk (or possibilities) versus likelihood…It was 100% her fault, but admittedly I reluctantly assumed some of this risk exposure simply by driving on a public highway…Much safer to just stay home, eh!!

Truth is that try as we might a risk free world does not exist…Often, the best plan to mitigating risk is to adopt a mindset of operational or situational awareness that a known potential hazard could develop and plan out a contingency accordingly…This is why we wear seatbelts…

Nor is Lithium risk free…the possibility exist that the BMS might someday go south, but a good contingency (rather than flying blind…) is to regularly monitor voltages by investing in a high quality battery status monitor…

Personally, me choose to closely monitor…
