Are you saying this is the new battery containment box for the 787? What is your source?

Mostlylurking:

It does not look like a gludge to me. This is what I would expect the box to look like. It looks very strong and profesionally built. I am sure the weight is a bit of an issue but im am sure it is lighter than a NiCad in a box. According to an earlier post a LI has about 10 times the energy density of a Nicad

Kerosense Kraut:

You are right, the new box is not addressing the root cause of the fault. It is not a fix. It is there for that 1 in 10,000,000 chance of failure. The root cause is a bit sketchy but it seems the other changes such as modifying the max charge limit are addressing the root cause.

Sorry I dont know how to make the fancy blue quote boxes.
