Granted, but these are the first batteries to undergo this kind of scrutiny. The question is, have they been proven safe enough and why does it take so much time to give this verdict?
What I think we can agree on is that NiCds can be quite dangerous when they start burning. How responsible is it of the FRA to allow them for future use if the pose a proven risk? How will the FRA insurers respond if an accident happens with a battery type of which we know there can be safety issues? I can expand this discussion to the whole ruleset, but lets not go there.
