Scope
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to cover any type of portable electronic device, powered by a rechargeable lithium battery that has application in operating the aircraft. This includes devices such as laptop computers, electronic tablets, and electronic book-reading devices, used as Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs), and similar applications.
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.

Issuing Committee
AE-7B Power Management, Distribution and Storage
The AE-7B Power Management, Distrib ution and Storage Committee is established to provide a forum for gathering and disseminating technical information between suppliers and users of power management equipment, power converters, and their associated control elements. The committee will also develop the guidelines and standards to facilitate the design and use of power management equipment for future applications.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
