Amazon ist just as shady. The additional issue with them is that they pool inventory from their own and from marketplace sellers that they do logistics for. Let's say they source genuine batteries from the OE manufacturer and some marketplace dude will have his stock at the Amazon warehouse, which is counterfeit goods.
Chances are then that when you order from Amazon themselves, they pick one of the counterfeit units from the marketplace seller because they're stored in the same shelf and Amazon does the shipping.
I cannot give you good advice on where to purchase original batteries for a good price online, but I know that Amazon should not be your first choice.
I run my printer through a Shelly. That way, I can observe prints remotely (webcam) and kill the power, should software shutdown fail. My Shelly is also set up so that the machine cannot exceed what the PSU is rated at. That would probably not be a good enough measure for a runaway (and melting) hot end once that has started a fire, but I feel pretty calm about the thing printing while I'm at work. I check the camera every half hour or so for print issues or worse.
The thing is: Should all runaway countermeasures on the software side fail, I'd have to be able to see the molten aluminium dripping onto the bed before it's too late. I figure it's a risk you have to take if you use a machine that will heat to up to 300° C to melt shit for hours on end.
To me, minivans are probably the most sensible vehicles out there. Does it comfortably seat 5 to 8 people? Yes. Does it offer lots of space for anything you need to haul from A to B? Yes. Does it have a footprint and gas consumption similar to a regular sedan? Yes.
