If we make the assumption that the chemistry of Lithium-ion batteries is as yet UNSUFFICIENTLY KNOWN ? let me prompt that - food for thought, possibly ? - the electro-chemical reaction liberating free electrons (electrical current) in those Japanese (YUASA) batteries has TWO ALTERNATIVE writings, ONE (standard, well-known, basic) upon which the battery control system engineering has been conceived (and may correctly serve to govern/control/protect) plus ONE OTHER electrochemical ALTERNATIVE REACTION ? with a DIFFERENT WRITING, liberating a much greater number of free electrons in a CHAIN REACTION producing a discharge current of much greater intensity (amperage) for which the present battery protection system has NOT been designed to cope with and of which the Battery Maker is UNAWARE, the inherent assumption here being that the OCCURRANCE of the alternative electro-chemical reaction would be commanded by Quantum-Mechanical principles (RANDOM basis ?) under certain (very particular) catalytic conditions (hypothetically : eg some mechanical vibration of the anode/cathode and electrolyte at given frequencies or otherwise, in presence of PPM traces of catalytic impurities in said anode/cathode/electrolyte ?)

(see papers n° 1 and n° 2 indicating that Lithium-ion battery technology is still at the Research & Development stage in 2013, five years after the 787's airworthiness certification ?)
