That's pretty serious stuff if true and there was a similar report in
this week's Sunday Times business section.
So what are the options ?.
Revert to nicad batteries, which would add weight (100lbs ?), need
different charge electronics, may not meet the rapid charge requirements
(why did they need this anyway ?) and may have to be recertified.
Stick with the current li batteries, but rework the battery assembly and
charger design to be a bit more proactive in terms of temperature sensing,
recovery and shutdown.
Both option involve a lot of work and it doesn't look like a 5 minute
fix...
