[Not a pilot--ignore or delete as necessary] My question is what did Boeing have to do to get this approved for production? It's not as if they built the plane and smuggled an illicit battery aboard. If the battery was not defective or installed incorrectly, is it likely that a major failure scenario would have been missed by the engineers/designers under intense scrutiny by aviation authorities? [Later: Sincere thanks to aterpster and EEng. Sounds like, "We'll back you all the way--until you screw up!"]
