When a li-ion battery is deeply overcharged, safety risk is imminent as the excessive energy has to go somewhere immediately. When it's deeply overdischarged, the safety risk is lower since there's little, if any, energy in the battery. That's the reason the unsafe high voltage is only slightly higher than the maximum charge voltage but the unsafe low voltage is significantly lower than the minimum discharge voltage. Misinformed users are sometimes convinced that overdischarging is as dangerous as overcharging. | When a li-ion battery is deeply overcharged, it's a common consensus that safety risk is imminent as the excessive energy has to go somewhere immediately.

The difference between discharge cut-off voltage safety cutout voltage must be explained clearly. Some people confuse these two and justifying cutting off charging when the voltage is at or only slightly blow the discharge cut-off voltage. This is made worse by anti-consumer manufacturers "stirring the water".
