"Investigators say that's nearly impossible to do, since the evidence needed to reach such a determination is usually destroyed by the fires. Lithium batteries are suspected in the destruction of three cargo planes, resulting in the deaths of four pilots."
"Suspected" but Not Proven
"The ban wouldn't apply to cargo airlines or to other kinds of batteries. It also wouldn't apply to lithium-ion batteries that are packed inside equipment. For example, a shipment of cellphones with lithium batteries inside them would still be allowed. FAA officials have said being inside a device lessens the risk that a short-circuiting battery will affect other batteries."
BULLSHIT!
"George Kerchner, executive director of PRBA — The Rechargeable Battery Association"
The Rechargeable Battery Association? WTF Is THAT?
"Similarly, the U.S. is backing a proposal to require that batteries offered for shipment be only 30 percent charged. The less energy in the battery, the lower the fire risk"
The math: 4.2 (volts) divided by 30% = 1.62 Volts!!!!
What battery can dip down to 1.62 Volts without ever working again??? - 5150
Other Math: 3.5 (volts) divided by 30% = 1.16 Volts!!!!
