Think project extensions, cost overruns, corporate realities. Imagine in 2004 when they had to have the final final final design spec for the lithium battery. THey had to go through complete testing for years, validate every aspect at all condidtions to pass and be incorporated in the final design.
A little bit of fire in laptops? Does that mean we have to scrap our *already* *certefied* *for* *use* battery pack and have another delay? No. Acceptable risk. And now they'[re grounded and they'll have to do a redesign anway. But... maybe there will be a small suppy of these 787 batts coming on the used market soon? Just my opinion, not worth a lot, mind you as I don't even play an expert on TV. sean On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 4:08 PM, robert winfield <[email protected]> wrote: > you would think that after Sony had problems with LiCo batteries in laptops a > few years ago.
