Am surprised that this situation has come to this as has been said already amongst these pages LiPo or LiOn batts are not the most stable form of stored energy, I know having had more toy planes than most have had hot meals here & i wouldn't even dream of leaving a LiPo unattended not even for a minute whilst charging or being used, just too unstable they are. Tome they are a stored time bomb!
These types of batts do offer superior storage & discharge capabilities but to have them cooked up inside a plane may not be the brightest thing Beoing have done. My opinion only of course & nuffin' else:-)
Dreamliner, hmmmm "I have a dream"...........& look what happened to that man!:-)
