Just thought I would add that as I have been plotting my energetic entropic
particle tracks that are creating cloud contrails and approaching sinkholes
in the Earth it appears that most of these energetic particles orbit
between 10,000 meters and 30,000 meters above our heads most of the time in
jetstreams (which they create).  They appear to follow cloud/water vapor
trails, which makes them more energetic.  In other words my research and
theory predicts that airliners cruising at those altitudes will be subject
to more energetic particle hits and the resulting radiation and possibly
batteries catching fire.  So, yes, I agree with Krivit since I believe beta
decay and LENR is occurring at the surface of these particles.

From 2006
The National Transportation Safety Board last month held a hearing about
the safety of lithium batteries on airplanes after a fire occurred Feb. 7
on a cargo jet. The UPS plane, which was carrying lithium-ion batteries,
among other items, caught fire in flight and landed safely in Philadelphia.
Investigators have not announced the cause of the fire and have not made
any safety recommendations about the transportation of such batteries.

I think if the Dreamliner doesn't try to save fuel and stays away from that
energetic particle beam/jetstream they will have longer life

Something about them energetic entropic dark matter particles and Lithium,
which probably explains the dirth of lithium in the universe.  Best they
switch to my new patent pending streaming  particle engine...

RE: [Vo]:Interesting speculative theory from Krivit on Boeing batteries

The risk vs rewards game is underway. NASA has most likely analyzed the
risk vs rewards situation, and still allows very expensive satellites to be
powered by lithium - as Ron says, so the risk must be very low - even with
full exposure to cosmic rays.

 

The percentage of lithium failures on commercial flights may be equally low,
but there are enough actual failures to raise safety concerns. This is
especially problematic since the risk of any lithium fire and its toxicity
onboard an airplane at altitude is multiplied by the close confinement and
the possibility that the flight crew will be harmed by the smoke. 

 

This is said to be the only incident reported in Australia, but due to
stories like this:

 

http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/aviation-international-news/2012-02-0
1/battery-fires-keeping-li-ion-caged

 

. there appears to be a push to ban all lithium batteries, even in cell
phones - or at least to require hot bags which may cost more than the
phone. How long before a terrorist rigs his iPhone to catch fire?

 

A satellite goes down and NASA is out say $50 million but a 747 goes down
and United is out $500 million.

Nothing clear that I can see. I would be interested in seeing the behavior of 
the batteries at high altitudes characterized.

If there was a significant increase in average operating temperature, that 
would lend credence to a possible connection between average operating 
temperature and ionizing radiation.  At that point it would be necessary to 
rule out known effects. But we would be one step closer to LENR theories that 
posit a relationship between certain types of ionizing radiation (e.g., x-rays) 
and anomalous heat.

If that were the case, I think they would have discovered it during flight
tests. There are now 50 Dreamliners in service. I believe there were two
used in testing before the airliners put them in service, so there were
many hours of flight accumulated, albeit at a rate ~25 times lower than
now. I think they would have discovered an anomaly that turns on at high
altitudes.

On the other hand, something is happening that did not occur during flight
testing. My guess is that it is a manufacturing defect in some batteries
but not others. The ones used in flight tests were okay, and most of the
ones deployed now are okay, but some are defective.

Manufacturing defects with batteries of this type have caused fires in
laptop computers. Stray scraps of metal left in the batteries, according to
press reports.

The Dreamliner is also having problems with a valve in the wings leaking
fuel.
