New research suggests that lithium batteries may explode and burn more violently than previously thought, raising questions about their use and transportation on passenger planes.
Because many airlines are replacing paper charts with laptops and tablets,S.
The Federal Aviation Administration tested what would happen if one of their rechargeable Lithium
Ion battery ignition.
During a test, the cockpit was filled with smoke thick enough to blur the instrument and field of view for about five minutes outside the window.
The findings released by the FAA on the agency\'s website raise a bigger question, in addition to laptops, because battery manufacturers usually ship products in large quantities in the cargo area of passenger planes.
A test found that the battery could explode, which could cause the aircraft to catch fire
Invalid suppression system.
\"This is the result we have never seen before,\" Mark Rogers, director of the dangerous goods program at the Airline Pilots Association, said in an interview.
\"This is certainly very sobering, as this could happen on a plane today.
ALPA is the largest coalition of pilots in North America.
Since 2010, the fire caused by lithium batteries has led to the crash of two cargo airlines flights, prompting the FAA to ban Boeing. ’s 787 in 2013.

The new study has also created a dilemma for regulators. In 2012, Congress banned regulators from lithium --
More stringent battery transport than suggested by the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization.
The Ministry of Transport and its Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety authority cannot enact regulations that are more stringent than current ICAO standards, unless there is a \"credible report\" that appearsboard fires.
\"It sets an incredible barrier for us to see further regulations, but that doesn\'t mean we won\'t go ahead with this regulation,\" said Sean Cassidy . \" The national security coordinator for ALPA said in an interview.
PHMSA said on July 31 that it will adopt the lithium standard recommended by ICAO
Battery cargo, effective in the United StatesS. Feb. 1.
According to a press release, the regulation will require improved packaging and notification.
Passengers can still carry mobile phones, computers and other devices with lithium batteries.
Damon Hill, spokesman for PHMSA, did not respond to the phone and asked if the criteria were sufficient given the new study.
The ICAO working group, composed of officials from regulators, airlines, trade unions and battery manufacturers, plans to hold a meeting.
According to a August report, in Cologne, Germany, the new study was addressed and additional restrictions were determined.

Lithium battery packs are used to power a variety of products including iphone, e-cigarette and camera.

According to the FAA, when they burn, they produce their own oxygen supply and will not be extinguished by a fire fighting system installed on the plane.

Previous tests have shown that the fire extinguishing system can control any explosion.
A new FAA study has found several new dangers for these two types of batteries.
