Boeing 787 battery investigation
GS Yuasa-manufactured batteries were examined after battery-related incidents involving Boeing 787 aircraft operated by All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines. The battery-control system was supplied by Thales. Japanese and U.S. safety authorities investigated the damaged batteries, electrical integration, and manufacturing controls. The episode generated aviation-safety scrutiny but the reference material does not establish a final finding of intentional misconduct by GS Yuasa.
