Here's one:

26th January, #161, tech log

All in all, not impressed. Boards and connectors of that type should
never be located anywhere near cells and their contents...

.#164, tech log

The assumption they possibly made was that the cells are sealed, but they
are not. With age, vibration and pressure changes from internal heating &
cooling, they will leak vapour which will accumulate within the enclosure.
Vapour meets electroncis = corrosion and it wouldn't need much deposited
on the pcb to cause measurement error in sensitive analog electronics.

I was going to make some comment about consumer electronics quality in a
billion $ a/c project, but I suppose i'd better not ...

Probably find more with a search...
