Hi,

Having worked through this thread, cause of fire ranging from coffee
maker to elt, i'm wondering just what we are being fed here.

As far as I can see, the elt batteries are completely encased in
thick aluminium and the batteries also have inline fuses to limit the
current to a safe level in the case of a short circuit, so how could
they ever cause a fire ?.

Some of the most reliable technology, over millions of hours with no
significant event and suddenly we have a major fire in a very new a/c
with a significant history of problems and malfunction.

Sorry, but I just don't believe in such coincidences :-(...
