Solve : How Lithium Ion Batteries Grounded the Dreamliner? |
|
Answer» While doing some RESEARCH I came upon an witter who states "you can not damage a battery by overcharging it." He meant the batteries used in Laptop Computers. At 10:21 a.m. on Jan. 7, 2013, about a minute after all 183 passengers and 11 crew members from Japan Airlines Flight 008 disembarked at Boston's Logan International Airport, a member of the cleaning crew spotted smoke in the aft cabin of the Boeing 787-8.They had a hard time controlling the fire. Quote The culprit was a lithium-ion battery manufactured by GS Yuasa, which was found to be under a condition known as a thermal runaway, in which the heat from a failing cell causes itself and surrounding cells to fail, thereby generating more heat.The was enough efvgidence to blame a lot of people. Quote Though the aircraft are now flying again with safety retrofits, the episode highlights some of the emerging concerns around cutting-edge clean technologies, particularly those that store LARGE amounts of energy... What do you think? Is your Laptop safe? (You can Google and find more stuff like this.) Google for: Are Lithium batteries safe? An find thugs like this: http://www.livescience.com/50643-watch-lithium-battery-explode.html and... http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/01/economist-explains-19 or maybe: http://www.howtogeek.com/169669/debunking-battery-life-myths-for-mobile-phones-tablets-and-laptops/ presumably they are referring to the added PROTECTION circuitry added to Lithium batteries. Overcharging and Short Circuiting- without those protections- can cause batteries to explode or POP. |
