It takes care. I ran Orions and loved them. I run Max Amps now and have the same respect for them. In a XXX-T the battery is just as safe as a 4800 on the side of a sedan. The pack is in the middle of the truck and secured by the chassis. And if a person really cared enough they can make shift a lexan shield over that. A sedan they can eject unless care is taken.
Right now I would say the fuse will become mandatory. And the case will be optional. You just cant get the Mah's in that case with out making it to tall. Though I hope they can some day.
One thing UN - you of all people know it's more than a case and a fuse. It is the quality of the cells as well. Remove the hardcase and wrap an Orion pack and I would still run it in my T4. The only other pack I'd consider at this point is the Trakpower but that isn't even about the case. Enerland cells are up there in quality. Maxamps and others? God only knows the quality. C rating tells you nothing.
