Saft sees little impact from Airbus dropping lithium-ion battery

PARIS: Saft said on Monday that the decision of Airbus to drop use of its lithium-ion batteries in the A350 jet would have limited financial impact on the French battery maker.

John Searle, the chief executive of Saft, said the decision announced by Airbus would have no impact on sales this year, and almost none in 2014.
