> if they are LiFePO

No phones use this chemistry. I have no idea what you're on about.

>Wouldn't be the first time I've seen something with no over or undervolt protection whatsoever.

Even the cheapest lithium ion charge controllers have overvolt protection by the nature of how they work. What can happen however is a controller could be specced to charge to 4.3V per cell and a 4.2V cell is instead installed. This is a problem.

I thought we were discussing a power bank not a phone.


They made the claim manufacturers used batteries that were old stock for phones. Again, I don't know what they are on about.
