In a system supplied by the French company Thales - I wouldn't be surprised if some will therefore insist there must have been a dastardly plot between the French and Japanese to hobble the B787 at some point. Of course, both Thales and Yuasa were providing a battery system designed and built to Boeing's specifications - and usually in engineering projects you will find that problems can be traced back to incomplete or incorrect specification.
Anyway, JAL's A350 order does not exclude the 777X - they will almost certainly order 777-9X in due course.
Well, quite.
