Tweedledum is just too dumb to understand technical stuff. Even needs help with words of more than one syllable.
Silly fool thinks just because something is on YouTube it MUST BE RIGHT. She should stay in the extremist section.
Just goes to show how useless and uninformed Greeny fools are. What a useless waste of space that is not worth feeding.
Her batteries are of very little use like her.
But when you get the actual real working FACTS silly old Tweedledum looks even dumber and sillier and more uninformed and generally ignorant than normal. Typical empty headed full of fowl air Greeny type.The missing practical FACTS to mention are the massive weight, space, and dollars saved by using L-ion rather than LTO. If LTO cannot come even close to competing by either cost or weight they will not be accepted by most consumers.Lithium ion anodes have 175-455 watt hr/kg compared to 1302-1488 watt hr/kg.
The result is LTO batteries end up being heavier, bigger and more expensive than if they had used a graphite anode.The NCIB case study you posted about flammability of batteries is for an LTO anode, not a graphite one…..isn’t that the opposite of what you are claiming?
Either way I think you were right by accident because
LTO’s swell due to a reaction where the electrolyte gives off gases carbon dioxide, and highly flammable carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Graphite does not produce gasses from reacting with electrolyte. Not that safety concerns matters much for demand of L-ion batteries, they are time tested and proven safe, even if these airlines overreact to mere suspicions and ban transportation of batteries would that even be a bad thing? That just brings more battery factories and mines close to home.
The other link you posted shows that L-ion batteries are the most accepted on aircraft out of any types of battery, again I thought you were saying the opposite?: http://phmsa.dot.gov/safetravel/batteries
Did you read the end of the BIFA article you posted? The quote is below, they are not turning down business at all, just making sure they are packaged properly and restricting in shipments from Asia where there is quality control problems.
“…thousands of the batteries may be packed onto pallets and loaded into the cargo holds of passenger planes. At this point it is important to emphasise that no cargo fires aboard passenger airlines have been attributed to batteries.
United Airlines and Delta will continue to accept shipments when the batteries are packed inside or with equipment such as laptops or power tools.”
