20 February 2013 13:17:51Boeing Co Said to have found a fix for 787 Dreamliner battery problem - financial press (update)- Fix involves increasing the amount of space between battery cells to prevent overheating. ***Note that on Feb 17th, there were reports that a short-term 787 fix could come this week. The short term solution mentioned comprised a heavy-duty titanium or steel containment box around the battery cells, high-pressure evacuation tubes that, in the event of a battery fire, would vent any gases directly to the outside of the jet. - Source TradeTheNews.com
