Lithium battery packs are protected by active circuitry that keeps them from self-destructing.

Some Chinese manufacturers were rumored to skimp on protective circuitry which may be one of the reasons lithium battery packs have been rumored to catch fire. Who is the manufacturer of the Boeing battery packs?

No there not. That is false. I have a 2 amp hour 36 volt battery for my bike. This battery will supply 300 amps if shorted (until it explodes). NO active circuitry is going to protect you from that. Period...

I’m curious who the manufacturer is, too. It’s pretty telling that we’ve never heard them named. The media sure is having fun cracking Boeing for a VENDOR problem.
