    These batteries are a new formula? Maybe this is the revenge of the capacitor plague

    Once it's sealed up, how do you test it?

    You could always do, you know, random sampling when accepting delivery from subcontractors. Take a few batteries, rip them open and verify they're what they're supposed to be. I'm sure a big company like Boeing working on such a large project would have a whole department of people who do nothing but testing.
