This is a game changer if it works out on an industrial level.

As I understand the Li-ion battery catch fire quite easily when damaged. It has many good properties, but this one is dangerous.

I look forward to an aluminum battery!

They say it may have been implicated in that Malaysian airliner. 470? the one they just found the flapdoodle or something🙂

I hope that we one day will find out about the Malaysian plane...

I watched a clip at youtube how a cell phone battery caught fire when poked at with a knife. People have reported battery fire when a cell phone was bent in a pocket and thus was damaged.

Nothing is really known about what happened on that plane.

Lithium batteries have been blamed (probably correctly) for a number of other aeroplane incidents.

I understand flight 370 was carrying about 3 tons of Lithium batteries. It's a possibility. They are finding more debris now at Reuniun Island, seat parts, windows and such besides the wing flap of a few days ago. That suggests to me, maybe more of the stuff will be found on the shores of Madagascar.
