That was my understanding too. The armored box brought the instatllation into line with the current RTCA recommendations for LiIon batteries and the charging levels were changed but these were by no means the only change. The specialist teams that were brought in provided fixes for all the potential problems and those that had been found. The intent being that the change-out rate would reduce as well as the failure rates.
