Not battery issue? If so, would be the less damaging scenario

etudiant:

The real shock imho was the poor containment performance of the design, with fumes vented into the cabin and cockpit as well as ejected battery fluid bathing much of the battery compartment. This was not supposed to happen, fumes were supposed to be vented and fluids contained.

A severe malfunction of the battery associated circuitry (charger, etc.) could explain the occurrences. This scenario certainly was not considered in the design. There are limits to redundance, etc.

I hope for the chargers / circuitry malfunction scenario. The "less damaging". If due components (not the design) less worse.
