Based on my experience during my days at Boeing during the Lithium battery issue, the grounding of the 787 fleet and what I learned for the incidents, I made recommendations to NHRA in 2015 to require an enclosed metal container for those that want to use a Lithium battery. Prior to the delivery of the 787 airplanes to the airline customers, we even had to develop new fire fighting protocols for the operators and airports worldwide on how to handle a Lithium battery fire, the equipment required and extinguishing media.
