The short of it is that UL certified batteries seem safe (the Citi bike batteries haven’t burned, as far as they know). The problems are higher for non certified batteries, used batteries, and rebuilt ones. People buy non certified ones because they fit more energy in them at the expense of safety tech.

Just deposit the check into your current account, use the mobile app. Then open a high yield savings account somewhere. The bank you currently use may have one, or Ally is often mentioned. Many you can open right online, and as others said, it’s normally fairly easy to transfer money around.
