Boeing Dreamliner battery problems

[Donut]

What's up with those batteries used in the plane?

 

Lithium-ion batteries are presumed to be safe to use?

Heard from the news they are for saving fuel cost.......perhaps the re-chargable batteries can cut down on fuel usage.......

Probably made by Sony.

Nope. Made by yusa. The same brandas our car battery. Lol

 

So those who are using yusa cat battery, beware........

Yeah it's meant to save fuel. But if this brand of battery CMI, get another battery maker to supply

Should recommend them Amaron........at least that's what lots of MCFers recommend too......

thats y its not good plane to have hybrid hahahha jk

 

quite sad that the battery fail on such a new plane, reputation drop

Think the Japs have been too laid back liao. From cars to electronics/electrical equipment, now to basic battery also problematic.

 

If you have visited Japan recently, you will notice even the manners and social grace also going downhill.

They use lithium-ion on these new generation aircraft now? Traditionally, the battery is nickel-cadmium type.

 

Lithium-ion has higher energy density than nickel-cadmium, more power and energy stored for the same weight. For the Dreamliner, a lot of electrical systems are used, beyond the usual, to replace some systems that traditionally used hydraulics. Probably that's why they needed to switch to lithium-ion technology.

 

Anyway, aircraft batteries are only used during an emergency as a last resort source of power. There is also a battery at the auxiliary power unit (APU) expressly for starting the APU - I think this is the battery that caused trouble on the JAL aircraft at Boston. For the ANA aircraft with smoke detected, what was the issue?

Thought they found that the battery was badly burnt??? Think news got put photo of it beside a good batt......

I think they are more hostile to chinese. Maybe they think we are from China.

They found out the battery leaked big time and the connections are burnt, resulting in passengers smelling smoke in the cabin

Imagine if the plane is in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific ocean and the smoke is toxic.......
