Interesting. Thank you for posting. I remember there was one poster with a lot of connections to the boat who was very angry over suggestions batteries might have been the cause of the fire.

It is a good read, but I'm not clear on where the information stops and the speculation begins.
And your comment would be what? Not a very useful opinion, to say the least, as a basic search will show that lithium (ion) batteries do contain Li ions, ergo lithium, the element, if not the in its metallic form (very flammable indeed on mere contact with water in an O2-rich environment): Safety Concerns with Li-ion Batteries – Battery UniversityThere is a very simple factual error in there: there is no lithium in "lithium batteries". You can stop reading right there.
It's been endlessly discussed in the conception fire thread, as I recall the mods even spun off its own separate flaming batteries thread from it.
Nothing new in the autopsy, from the preliminary report, except actual figures which do not point to the cause of the fire.
Speculation starts where the author blames the fire on recharging batteries. Having batteries cooking off during a fire does not prove they started it.
Who still does leave their batteries charging overnight or simply unattended?

Does it REALLY matter that a battery may not have started the fire? Does it NOT matter that if you leave lots of batteries in an unsupervised environment to charge overnight, this can result in a devastating fire?

I don't read her text as her claiming that she's got all the facts. You, and others, seem to perceive it as that. We should probably leave at that, since it is matter of...opinion and would spin in meaningless "he said, she said".It matters when one writes their speculation as fact, which was why I was answering a question by tursiops.
Also, I noticed you did not quote all of my post as it would not have fit with your rant.
