(ET) Lithium vs L/A

["Robert" <euclid delhitel net>]

What are you going to use to charge those Lithium batteries? The charging 
algorithm is complex and Lithium batts are made up of many cells that can 
fail individually especially if not charged correctly. Also they are very 
unforgiving if over drained. In EV's they are fine but in ET's where you 
want the weight and simplicity L/A's are a better option even with their 
cold sensitivity.

       I would check with the engineers at Boeing before proceeding. :)
