Changing Risk Profile
• Proliferation of lithium batteries
• Single Aisle jet with 140 passengers
– Assume each has 4 lithium batteries
• Watches, laptop computer, iPad or tablet, smart phone, games player, DVD player or recorder machine, CPAC, flashlight, camera or numerous other electronic devices
• 560 lithium batteries on board

Acceptable Risk?
• In 2013, 3.3 billion passengers flew worldwide (IATA)
• The battery industry acknowledges 1 in 10,000,000 batteries have a manufacturing defect that could lead to thermal overheat
• Therefore the “acceptable” overheat chances in aircraft are 330 per year. If every passenger has ONE lithium battery

April 14, 2014NEW YORK (AP) — Sony is advising consumers to quit using some of its VAIO laptop computers and unplug them, saying that it's possible that its non-removable battery pack could overheat.The company says it's in the process of creating a program to repair or replace the computers, or will refund their purchase price.The packs included in some of Sony's Vaio Fit 11A models, which were released in February, were provided by a third-party supplier. If the packs overheat, it could cause burns to the laptop's housing, Sony said Friday.

Toshiba issues big recall for laptop batteries over fire fears
54 models affected.Toshiba has issued a recall for Li-Ion battery packs sold with certain models of its laptops and notebooks due a risk of the device catching fire. The hardware company yesterday advised customers to immediately turn off their PC and remove their battery to check whether their device was affected. The vendor is offering free replacement battery packs for customers with affected units.Around 54 different PC models are affected, sold nationally from retail stores like Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi from June 2011 to September 2015. "There is a risk that the rechargeable battery pack may overheat, cause smoke or may ignite," Toshiba warned."If the defect occurs, there is a risk of a fire or a burn hazard to consumers.”
Fellow hardware vendor Panasonic was also this week forced to recall rechargeable battery packs due to a fire hazard.Panasonic CF-S10 ruggedised laptops built between April 2012 and June 2013 were affected."There is a risk that the battery pack may overheat and cause smoke or may ignite posing the risk of fire or burn hazard to consumers and to the [computer]," Panasonic said.iTnews

SAFO
A SAFO contains important safety information and may include recommended action. SAFO content should be especially valuable to air carriers in meeting their statutory duty to provide service with the highest possible degree of safety in the public interest.
Besides the specific action recommended in a SAFO, an alternative action may be as effective in addressing the safety issue named in the SAFO.

Let’s Reconsider The FAA Guidance
• Is the recommendation not to move an overheating PED the best choice?
• What about in the flight deck?
• What about water into the IFE or other electronics?

• If the firefighter is protected is the FAA guidance appropriate?
• If the threat can be contained is the FAA guidance appropriate?
• If the threat can contained will it stop the panic?

The Rising Threat In Aviation
It is estimated that 3.3 billion lithium cells and batteries will be transported worldwide in 2008. This represents an 83 % increase since 2005. The estimated failure rate of all lithium batteries is in the range 1 failure per 10 million batteries manufactured.

• One of the largest trends in the growth of in-flight fire is due to the transportation of lithium batteries
• Grey market batteries and chargers are a risk
• Thermal containment technology is available and should be considered for carriage in the cabin by all operators.

SMOKING LAPTOP ON CHICAGO-BOUND FLIGHT FORCES EMERGENCY LANDING IN BUFFALOSmoking laptop on Chicago-bound flight forces emergency landing in Buffalo
CHICAGO --A smoking laptop forced a Chicago-bound flight to make an emergency landing.
A Delta flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport to O'Hare International Airport had to divert to Buffalo.
Airport authorities said a passenger's laptop started smoking. A flight attendant poured water on the machine.
When the flight made the temporary stop in Buffalo, firefighters recovered the laptop for further examination.
None of the 53 people on board was hurt. The flight continued on to Chicago.

FAA testing has shown that a single lithium battery (cell), whether metal or ion, in thermal runaway will spread to the neighboring batteries in the package and to adjacent packages. Thermal runaway is initiated by an internal short within the battery that may be caused by a manufacturing contaminant, battery damage during handling or from heat produced in the environment, such as by an adjacent fire.

Historically
• Aviation has often used technology to mitigate risk
– EGPWS for CFIT
– Predictive Windshear
– Jet engines
• Can we lower the risk of lithium batteries with technology?
