lux research: dreamliner should switch to safer batteries - lithium iron phosphate battery

Boeing, the aircraft maker, did not choose the safest lithium
A local research company said on Friday that the ion battery chemistry of the 787 Dreamliner had stopped flying due to the potential risk of a battery fire.
According to Boston-based strategic consulting and intelligence firm Lux Research, the battery in Dreamliner uses a material called lithium cobalt oxide (LCO, LCO does not resist overheating and other alternatives.
"In choosing LCO, Boeing avoided safer alternatives such as lithium iron phosphate," Lux Research said in a press release . ".

Otherwise the suggestion is inaccurate.

Ion chemistry used by batteries in Dreamliner.
Lux Research said Boeing's decision to use batteries with LCO was "even more shocking as major automakers earlier refused to consider the possibility of using LCO in passenger cars for safety reasons . ".
He also said he expects the FAA to strengthen regulation of aircraft using lithium. ion batteries.
Earlier this week, due to the potential risk of battery fire, the FAA stopped flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner after an emergency landing on Wednesday, 787, due to battery failure.
Just a week ago, a battery fire broke out in Boston at an overhead Japanese airline 787.
