All Nippon Airlways reports having replaced ten lithium batteries in 787's BEFORE the current battery fire disaster.
Wow. Ten batteries in brand new aircraft. That's 10 battery failures in a fleet of 17 aircraft over a period of a little more than a year. We never had that kind of battery failure rate in USAF. A plain old car battery is expected to last 4 winters. These lithium batteries didn't even make it thru a single winter.
