Japan’s Transport Safety Board released a report that stated that the battery of the Dreamliner’s auxiliary power unit had been incorrectly connected to the main lithium-ion battery that overheated. It further stated that a protective value would have presented power from the APU from causing any damage.

Something not right here. How the hell can the APU bat connect to the Main Bat?

That is serious miswiring. I don't buy it.
