The problem I have with this approach, if I understand the report correctly, is that Boeing has not fixed the underlying problem that caused the short and fire. They have designed a containment and venting system they believe will contain any malfunction and prevent any spread beyond the battery box. This is not altogether comforting.

That’s how I read it.

Worse, they’ve lost every single advantage that going to the lithium cobalt oxide was supposed to give them.

Halon 1301, the fire suppression agent installed in transport category aircraft, is ineffective in suppressing or extinguishing a primary lithium battery fire.

This is not altogether comforting either, contained or not.

I know that in other contexts you basically have to let a lithium fire burn itself out, and that is what's happening here by design.
