Boeing's public statements have included mention of tightened operating parameters implement in the chargers. They have also mentioned changes to the batteries themselves, and to the monitoring and control of their manufacture.

All this is in addition to the more widely discussed containment aspects of the changes.

Does your rumor add any detail as to what the controller is alleged to have been doing wrong?
