Seems like the 787 fires may be linked to the Li-ion batteries being overcharged. Or is the Li-ion battery have an issue with thermal run away?
When it's cold, my charger won't charge Li-ion batteries. It has to be very cold at 35000 feet.
I have 2 Li-ion batteries that are 4 years old. They hold their charge and take a full charge. However, they can't hold a candle to the batteries found in a Toyota prius, Ni-MH.
The price of Ni-MH batteries is close to the price of Ni-cd, but last for years. My 5 year old Ni-MH batteries are as good as the day I bought them.
Do you think Boeing will use Ni-MH?
