Boeing demonstrated no need for the Lithium Battery
I'm not sure about that. I read somewhere else that there is system / operating
requirement that the APU battery be fast charged over a time scale and at a rate
that would not be possible using lead acid or nicad.
Engineering of this type has nothing to do with emotion, seduction etc, other
than the usual designer's passion to do the job right :-).
Who knows what we will be told though. With so many $ at stake, some of the
vendors could be bankrupted if found to be at fault...
