Robert - I know that it may SEEM heavy but there is not NEED to go overboard - do you remember the incident where a (Lithium) battery was 'charged' as a result of a fault condition? The FAA banned all Lithium batteries in aircraft for many years after the incident. Have you not mentioned any external conditions or connection - or given us any idea of what the product is. Therefore I cannot and will not make any assumptions.
I am not suggesting a major exercise - I am suggesting that you document your method - and decision - I am also suggesting that you use some sort of template - like the appropriate standard. The whole exercise would have been completed within the time that we have all have been discussing it. 1-2 hours tops!!!!
