Boeing has finished installing its new, re-engineered batteries in fifty planes it delivered.
Via Komonews.com: “Boeing Co. never did figure out the root cause of the battery incidents. Instead, it redesigned the battery and its charger. The idea was to eliminate all of the possible causes, 787 chief engineer Mike Sinnett said. The changes include more heat insulation between each cell and charging the battery to a lower maximum voltage.”
