Apparently abnormal levels of vibration is what damaged the Honda batteries not tight packaging or cooling issues.

Okay, let's wait for the races and see what happens. Maybe they'll solve it quickly. And if it's slow, there's nothing we can do.

So honda are incompetent because they are not cheating? The Honda pu was running the engine on save mode because of battery overheating since Barcelona. So ones they address that issue we will see the real hondapowerunit but for now we haven't. So are people angry hurling insults but doing that with limited info.honda had to change parts of there pu since newey arrived but they were limited in time.
I will say it another time and no more: Neither Ferrari nor Audi gave any reason to make us think that they are cheating; quite the opposite. Not so clear cut with RBPT, but they finally sided with Ferrari, Audi and Honda.

I see incompetence in being their eleventh continued year as a manufacturer (allegedly; Honda left or did not left? We can't have our cake and eat it too) and not being able to even recover energy at full allowance by the rulebook.

For the sake of this discussion I will put aside reliability and maximum output power (which could relate with vibrations / chassis / gearbox).
