Airbus dumping Lithium batteries on A350

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013...ries.html?_r=0


It is, of course, the right course of action. I wonder if Boeing have even started the drawings for going back to previous battery technology.
Also that Airbus have the chance to redesign parts of the electrical system as necessary. Which brings up another question, *if* Boeing have to change the batteries, how much of a change to the electrical system is required and how much then to recertification?
