I like this quote from the article:

He emphasised that the incident was “not a battery problem” and therefore unlikely to be linked to the battery problems that plagued the 787 earlier this year.

My money is on the cockpit indicator

In which case, it would be an isolated incident???

I would call it that, and only in the news since it was a 787 and the previous battery problems they have had. That's just my opinion, but since there was no overheating or visible problems, I'll go with process of elimination. As I said, if it had not been on a 787, it probably wouldn't have made the news for you to post.LOL

Sounds like an isolated incident, maybe the indicator, maybe the charger. But key is that it was not the battery having stability issues (which is the potentially looming issue).

It would make sense for Boeing to quietly certify an old school battery and make it available to airlines as an option and/or to keep it around (just in case). That way, if they ever have another battery stability issue, they can seamlessly transition to the old school chemistry WITHOUT having another grounding incident (which would be unnecessary bad press).

No, I'm sure you're right about it not being in the news, but, call me a skeptic, I'm a bit leery of flying one.

Well, a lot of folks are, just because it's new and has had some problems. You probably wouldn't give a 2nnd thought to getting on a 777 but they were brand new at one time also.

True. But I won't buy a 1st generation car, either.

The flightglobal article was more informative.

The wall st cheat sheet article was (surprise, surprise) sensatiinalistic and alarmist.

It stated "However, the voltage and electrical current were within normal range and there was no effect on the remainder of the flight,” the airline added. 

But then added the factually incorrect: 'The battery was removed and inspections are ongoing.' (instead of battery charger.)

All they have to do is certify a heavier old school chemistry battery, while they work out a more stable modern chemistry battery.

The plane and its' batteries must be reliable.

They are going to regret buying these planes.
