WTF 4th Gear January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 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....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 What's up with those batteries used in the plane? Lithium-ion batteries are presumed to be safe to use? Probably made by Sony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Supercharged January 19, 2013 Author Share January 19, 2013 Probably made by Sony. Nope. Made by yusa. The same brandas our car battery. Lol So those who are using yusa cat battery, beware........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's meant to save fuel. But if this brand of battery CMI, get another battery maker to supply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 (edited) 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.

Sosaria Turbocharged January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 (edited) 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? Edited January 19, 2013 by Sosaria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF 4th Gear January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 Thought they found that the battery was badly burnt??? Think news got put photo of it beside a good batt...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
