More grist for the battle of the battery

Again, you shouldn't extrapolate from one product design to another
totally different design, especially in regards to safety. Each cell of
the Antares has it's own microprocessor that monitors the health and
charge of that cell. All of these microprocessors are networked
together to a central processor. In other words, this is a total system
engineered for flight that has passed stringent mandated testing.

Eric brought up the altitude issue. We fly at (sometimes) at extremely
high altitudes. This has a direct impact on component engineering. It
is very common to see components restricted to altitudes less than 10K
feet. Having no altitude spec whatsoever is quite disturbing to me.
