But I could be wrong ............ LOL
take 1 commercial jet, loaded with say 300pax

betcha you'll find onboard...

300 mobile/smartphones, 1 lipo in each
50-100 USB power booster, 1 lipo in each
100 laptops, 1 lipo in each
100 tablets, 1 lipo in each
100 iPods, 1 lipo in each
100 digicams, 1 lipo in each + some extra spares
25-50 DSLRs, 1 lipo in each + usually extra spares
25-50 MiFi devices, most have lipo
25-50 handheld GPS, 1 lipo in each
-----------
