Rationale: This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is prepared to bring attention to what is considered a potential shortcoming of current standards related to the usage of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery powered portable devices in conjunction with flight operations of business and commercial aircraft. There are well understood risks associated with the use of these commercial products, which are not currently covered by aerospace standards and regulations, and it is the opinion of this committee that potential users need interim guidance concerning the risks associated with potential li-ion battery failures in these devices.
