It would appear that Boeing is having it’s share of troubles with lithium-ion batteries. I know that there has been some discussion on HBA about them and I thought that the final conclusion was that they are not safe for flight !

This sad for Boeing as we need all the manufacturing in the US as we can get and this isn’t going to help sales.

Here is a link to the story I read: Overcharging batteries eyed in Boeing 787 mishaps

I don’t understand why Boeing engineers thought that the use of lithium-ion was a good idea.
