Airbus warned industry about dangers of lithium batteries
While Japanese authorities have ruled out the battery as the culprit in the fire on a JAL Dreamliner at Boston Logan and are now focusing on the system that monitors the battery, Reuters is reporting that Airbus had raised the red flag on dangers connected with lithium batteries at an airline forum in March 2012.
The Boeing rival said "the risks associated to lithium batteries require the attention of the entire industry" and called attention to the possibilities of flames, explosion, smoke and leakage. Airbus is planning its own use of lithium batteries in its planned A350 aircraft.
While experts in Japan and the US continue to try and sleuth out the issues that caused multiple near-miss disasters on the Dreamliner, hundreds of the aircraft remain parked and out of commission.
