With he increased ETOPS comes some Good news for improved fire suppression on the 777 .....

The lightweight Li-ion, high tech batteries in the jet are now encased in heavy steel cases...... The batteries will still charge fast tho, with good fortune they may be available for standby battery power, should the unlikely need arise.
