Re: Lithium battery fires

What gets me, was that the older (>1year if i remember correctly) reference was slanted as if the lithium batteries were serious hazards and implication should be banned, period.
That article stated that not even Halon would have an effect on a fire.
It gave good pointers / ideas for anyone with intent to mayhem anywhere on (essentially) how to use lithium batteries as fire / explosion starters.

The newer article specifically stated that there was absolutely no problem, that any lithium battery fire could not only be controlled, but be put out with on-board resources.

So there are night and day differences - meaning someone is plainly lying.
