Was wondering if others had read and were doing this:

The ASG-29E has a gas tank directly above two batteries used to power flight instruments.


Interesting that they say to add epoxy to the casing. Putting a fuse at
one of the battery terminals would be a more conventional way of
handling it, and would allow for easier battery replacement.

You are missing the point. The fuse will not protect against internal short.


No, not missing the point. The way I read it, they're talking about an
battery holder added around the battery. You wouldn't normally call
internal wiring "battery cables". Maybe something got lost in translation.

If anybody is using a battery so poorly constructed that it shorts out
internally and catches fire, that battery should be discarded immediately.


The way I read it is a small hole is drilled in the case and resin injected...?


No. Bulletin is suggesting all work is done by the battery manufacturer(Accu-24).
