Operational history of the B787 battery cell?
It has been mentioned a couple of times on one of the threads discussing the present B787 problems, that the cell (LVP65) has been approved by NASA, ESA and other bodies.
I wonder what this particular type of cell has been used for - other than being a part of the B787 battery system?
If the B787 battery is not the first user of LVP65, there must be information available about the operational experiences with this cell.
What I mean is that if this cell has a perfect service record for many years in all other applications, it is not fair to call the cell wrongly designed IMO - the battery itself is a different story.
But if it is designed especially for the B787 - OK, then it is another story!
