One of the more popular corporate PR strategies is to describe terrible new product failures as normal initial problems.
If you hear enough of this, you may think the company is right and you should continue the rest of your life.
But the image of a self.
Lithium-embedded-
Ion batteries from Boeing (BA)
The 787 Dreamliner at the New York Times on Thursday was hard to get the initial problem line.
For example, lithium-
In terms of consumer electronics, ion batteries have a great advantage over conventional batteries.
They have only one small problem--
They are considered dangerous substances.
Benefits of lithium-
Number of ion batteries-
The Times reported that they were \"lighter, faster to charge and more frequently, providing more power than other batteries of the same size . \".
But in 2006, some battery manufacturing defects caused them to catch fire. -

Gizmodo reported spontaneous combustion of Dell laptops at a meeting in Japan on 2006.
On August 2006, Dell recalled four units.
1 million of its lithium-containing products-ion batteries. Those auto-de-
The feing laptop in 2006 is not the first signal of the lithium problem. ion batteries.
No charge of lithium is prohibited at the 2004 safety regulator-
According to The Times, ion batteries are transported from passenger planes as cargo. Why do lithium-
Is the ion battery burned?
According to the University of California, they consist of positive and negative capacitors separated by plastic separators-
A thin piece of plastic with small holes on it.
If the plastic separator is damaged during manufacturing or handling, the negative layer and the positive layer will contact--
The heat generated will cause the battery to catch fire.
But regulators are not doing well in implementing these regulations.
For example, it is reported that from March 1991 to October 2012, there were 132 safety issues involving batteries carried by passengers or batteries in the cargo compartment. Sure lithium-
Ion batteries have a habit of getting themselves on fire.
But Boeing has convinced regulators that it has resolved-
Computer control.
According to The Times, Mike Sinnett, an engineer at lead787, said Boeing\'s system has \"Multi-Layer Protection, which it believes will prevent the battery from overheating and contain any problems.
These computer controls offer great hope.
If there is a problem with the battery, they turn the battery off and run as a firewall to prevent one of the eight batteries from spreading to the other seven.
In addition, Boeing claims that the 78 7 pressurized air system will prevent flames or smoke from entering the cabin in the burning battery.
But the computer controls that Sinnett boasts don\'t look good.
Worst of all, 787 has always had a safer battery.
A safer battery, however, comes at a cost. -
40 pounds more--.
Maximum takeoff weight of 01% to 500.
That\'s what MIT professor Donald Sadoway thinks, he told The Times,
If there is no small self, the CD battery will also work very well.
Self-immolation that bothers lithium-ion batteries.

This will make 787 of the operating costs higher. -
There is little reason to prove the fire risk of lithiumion ones.
A few weeks before the first flight of the 787 aircraft, another aircraft manufacturer decided to lithium it-
Ion battery of nickelcadmium one.
The Times reported that \"Cessna replaced lithium
Ion batteries and Nickel on Nickel 4 commercial aircraft-
On October 2011, the battery caught fire.
\"A colleague who served in the Air Force and received a doctorate from Harvard Business School believes that Boeing\'s financial health will be threatened by replacing lithium --
An ion battery at 787.
In his view, \"it\'s illegal to move lithium --
Air ion batteries.
It\'s too dangerous.
So how did Boeing get a plane full of them?
They power all sorts of things, whether in the air or on the ground.
If Boeing had to reconfigure the 787 to something other than lithium
The cost of the ion battery will make 787 a permanent loser.
\"My colleague may be right, but is it worth investigating to replace the lithium battery --
Nickel ion battery-
It will help Boeing save 78 of its profitability.
Unfortunately, if the battery problem is the tip of the iceberg that Boeing decided to outsource the 60% designed and manufactured 78, my colleague\'s conclusion may prove to be prescient.
