A350 also LiON

As of now, the A350 also uses serious Lithium Ion batteries. Their vendor differs (SAFT, not GS Yuasa).

A few hours ago Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier said he saw no reason to change "the A350's architecture", apparently meaning not only the use of lithium ion batteries but the charging, safety, power distribution, and other related schemes.

Good luck to them.
