I know there have been several threads about using the various types of lithium batteries in RV's. Lithium scares the heck out of me in a aircraft or boat. I have watched quite a few videos of what happens when things go bad. I know there is a lot of different opinions on the subject but I feel the technology is just not there yet. What got me thinking about this was a email I received on the 787 fire a few days ago in Boston. The batteries in the 787 are the most tested Lithium batteries in the world and the first certified in a passenger airliner. Despite all that the APU starting battery overheated and caught fire on the ground. Firefighters had a hard time containing the fire. They then thought they had it out and 20 minutes later the battery exploded. I know there are lots of opinions on the subject but the weight savings just does not seem worth the risk at this point.
