They may be robust physically, but cross-connect the battery leads or supply too much current and immediate smoke puff.
For some reason most of the manufacturers neglect to spend a few dollars and include some electrical protection.
I cross connected a battery and bang, lost the mount, the wifi adaptor and the asiair pro power board, a $500 mistake.
Now I connect everything via a Pegasus Astro pocket power module which has circuit protection.
