That report is interesting, it sounds like they are investigating condensation, humidity, corrosion (oxidation), thin insulation and isolation. I wonder if these possible contributory factors could also have contributed to other known electrical and battery problems. It would not surprise me if 787s have to undergo wiring and air conditioning modifications. This would reduce some of their economic advantages, but perhaps be what is needed to improve it.
