i read tons of reviews of the specific brand battery I bought there wasn't any claims yet of it exploding or catching on fire. Guys are posting reviews leaving it on the shelf for up to 10 months and putting it right into there motorcycle and starting up. One guy even left it in the motorcycle for 8 months and said it started right up. The battery I also bought is a lithium iron not ion.
some info on it
Lithium Iron Phosphate will become the preferred battery technology for traction purposes and other situations in which high discharge characteristics and cycle life are important. Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are based on the original lithium-ion chemistry, but LiFePO4 is used as the cathode material instead of lithium cobalt dioxide (LiCoO2). The latter is found in the most commonly used batteries in laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, etc.
LiFePO4 is an intrinsically safer cathode material than LiCoO2 since exothermic reactions cannot occur in batteries based on this material: LiFePO4 cells do not incinerate or explode under extreme conditions. In addition, LiFePO4 cells have a higher discharge current, are not toxic and have a much higher cycle life than LiCoO2 cells.
