About the same time, a maintenance manager in the cockpit observed that the auxiliary power unit (APU)--the sole source of airplane power at the time--had automatically shut down. Shortly afterward, a mechanic opened the aft electronic equipment (E/E) bay and found heavy smoke and fire coming from the front of the APU battery case.2 No passengers or crewmembers were aboard the airplane at the time, and none of the maintenance or cleaning personnel aboard the airplane was injured. Aircraft rescue and firefighting personnel responded, and one firefighter received minor injuries. The airplane had arrived from Narita International Airport, Narita, Japan, as a regularly scheduled passenger flight operated as JAL flight 008. The APU battery provides power to start an APU during ground and flight operations. Flight data recorder (FDR) data showed that the APU was started about 1004 while the airplane was being taxied to the gate after arrival at BOS. The FDR data also showed that, about 36 seconds before the APU shut down at 1021:37, the voltage of the APU battery began fluctuating, dropping from a full charge of 32 volts to 28 volts about 7 seconds before the shutdown. The APU battery consists of eight lithium-ion cells that are connected in series and assembled in two rows of four cells. Each battery cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7 volts. The cells have a lithium cobalt oxide compound chemistry and contain a flammable electrolyte liquid.

This book provides the complete National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Aircraft Incident Report issued in November 2014 (plus a full compilation of documents and additional information) about the fires and smoke incidents involving lithium-ion batteries on Boeing 787 Dreamliner commercial airplanes in 2013. This report discusses the January 7, 2013, incident involving a Japan Airlines Boeing 787-8, JA8297, which was parked at a gate at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, when maintenance personnel observed smoke coming from the lid of the auxiliary power unit battery case, as well as a fire with two distinct flames at the electrical connector on the front of the case. No passengers or crewmembers were aboard the airplane at the time, and none of the maintenance or cleaning personnel aboard the airplane was injured. Safety issues relate to cell internal short circuiting and the potential for thermal runaway of one or more battery cells, fire, explosion, and flammable electrolyte release; cell manufacturing defects and oversight of cell manufacturing processes; thermal management of large-format lithium-ion batteries; insufficient guidance for manufacturers to use in determining and justifying key assumptions in safety assessments; insufficient guidance for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification engineers to use during the type certification process to ensure compliance with applicable requirements; and stale flight data and poor-quality audio recording of the 787 enhanced airborne flight recorder. Safety recommendations are addressed to the FAA, The Boeing Company, and GS Yuasa Corporation. Executive Summary * 1.

On January 7, 2013, about 1021 eastern standard time, smoke was discovered by cleaning personnel in the aft cabin of a Japan Airlines (JAL) Boeing 787-8, JA829J, which was parked at a gate at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (BOS), Boston, Massachusetts. About the same time, a maintenance manager in the cockpit observed that the auxiliary power unit (APU) had automatically shut down.2 Shortly afterward, a mechanic opened the aft electronic equipment bay (E/E bay) and found heavy smoke coming from the lid of the APU battery case and a fire with two distinct flames at the electrical connector on the front of the case.3 None of the 183 passengers and 11 crewmembers were aboard the airplane at the time, and none of the maintenance or cleaning personnel aboard the airplane was injured. Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) personnel responded, and one firefighter received minor injuries. The airplane had arrived from Narita International Airport (NRT), Narita, Japan, as a regularly scheduled passenger flight operated as JAL flight 008 and conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 129. The captain of JAL flight 008 reported that the APU was turned on about 30 to 40 min before the airplane left the gate at NRT (about 0247Z) and was shut down after the engines started.4 He stated that the flight, which departed NRT about 0304Z, was uneventful except for occasional moderate turbulence about 6.5 to 7 hours into the flight. Flight data recorder (FDR) data showed that the airplane touched down at BOS at 1000:24 and that the APU was started at 1004:10 while the airplane was taxied to the gate. The captain indicated that the APU operated normally. FDR data also showed that the airplane was parked at the gate with the parking brake set and both engines shut down by 1006:54. The maintenance manager (the JAL director of aircraft maintenance and engineering at BOS) reported that the passengers had deplaned by 1015 and that the flight and cabin crewmembers had deplaned by 1020, at which time he and the cabin cleaning crew had entered the airplane. Shortly afterward, a member of the cleaning crew told the maintenance manager, who was in the cockpit, about “an electrical burning smell and smoke in the aft cabin.” The maintenance manager then observed a loss of power to systems powered by the APU and realized that the APU had automatically shut down. After confirming that the airplane's electrical power systems were off, the maintenance manager turned the main and APU battery switches to the “off” position. FDR data showed that the APU battery failed at 1021:15 and that the APU shut down at 1021:37, which was also when the APU controller lost power. A JAL mechanic in the aft cabin at the time reported that, when the airplane lost power, he went to the cockpit and learned that the APU had shut down. The mechanic then went back to the aft cabin and saw and smelled smoke. A JAL station manager arrived at the airplane and reported that, when he went into the cabin (through the door where the passenger boarding bridge is attached), he saw “intense” smoke that was concentrated 10 ft aft of the door. The turnaround coordinator for JAL flights 008 and 007,5 who had also entered the aft cabin and observed the smoke, described the smoke as “caustic smelling.” The mechanic notified the maintenance manager about the smoke, and the maintenance manager asked the mechanic to check the aft E/E bay. The mechanic found heavy smoke and flames in the compartment coming from the lid of the APU battery case. The mechanic reported that he used a dry chemical fire extinguisher (located at the base of the passenger boarding bridge) to attempt to put out the fire but that the smoke and flames did not stop.

Lithium-ion cells are widely used for all kinds of different electrical powered applications. Every technology has its risks and in case of Li-ion-cells it is mainly fire and explosion. Unfortunate famous examples are the crash of a Boeing 787 in January 2013 or the Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 smart-phone incident in 2016. Among others, those events made it obvious that firstly the quality during production needs to be improved and secondly procedures for a proper handling of burning batteries need to be developed. With more and more electric cars on our streets (with Li-ion technology), the amount of burning or exploding batteries will increase due to the fact that these batteries are exposed to crashes and accidents. In this thesis, issues with current emergency response guides related to battery fires are investigated. Based on these findings, solutions for fire fighting, identification of risky batteries, transportation and storage of electric vehicle wrecks are provided and then reviewed with experts. Used methods in this thesis are: Screening existing rescue guidelines for identification of potential weaknesses, research of how to identify critical batteries based on common electrical and mechanical knowledge, tests with real batteries to identify fire fighting problems by applying different extinguishing agents on crashed batteries. Finally the findings of these investigations will be summarized in proposals for handling, transportation and storage of EVs which will be discussed with battery and fire fighting experts. In summary, it can be said, that available rescue guides are basically OK but do not entirely meet the needs of real life situations. The uncertainty of the needed amount of extinguishing agent could be solved by a submerge-tank-solution with a defined maximum volume. These tanks or containers can also be used for transportation and storage and will be very helpful in case of re-ignition. Thermal imaging devices can help to determine the outside temperature of a questionable battery but one should not only rely on this device as it can not unveil the inner activities of a battery. The identification of critical batteries could be supported by visual indicators but such a method needs to be developed. However the technical solutions will look like in the future, training, proper equipment and legal certainty are mandatory for first responders to work safe and efficient.****Lithium-ion cells are widely used for all kinds of different electrical powered applications.
