As above in my post #965, the condition number six, as written, prohibits this Battery installation as designed.

Any short circuit will take the battery off line, as will any temperature that may effect sister cells.

The APU/MAIN Batteries themselves are "Essential systems", so any self induced failure qualifies as a battery caused loss of a safety critical system.

If the language is changed to "Other Essential Systems", and the FAA is satisfied that the loss of the Battery is not "essential", the Box will fly.

It looks lke they are revising the conditions to suit the Boeing Fix. Did we think they would not?

Unbelievable.

BUT. FIRE cannot be allowed, and since the Box is identified as "Fire Protection"
the whole proposal is a travesty of the first order anyway.

Curiouser and curiouser....
