Correct - Lithium ion are similar to what was used in laptops etc and had a tendency to catch fire. Different animal with Lithium Iron Phosphate. I may be wrong but think that all motorcycle batteries are Now Lithium Iron Phosphate and the Ion is no longer available for use in Bike.

The burnt one in the photo is advertised as Lithium Ion. They also say it's the smallest lightest battery for the power it has, guessing it has a small power advantage to LiFePo4 at the expense of being more fragile.
