787 battery question

When the 787s were grounded there had been sufficient "fires" in the small fleet to cause concern. The solution that was widely reported was to put a box around the battery so that in the event it did catch fire it would be contained.

Since the planes were released back into service, having had their box fitted, I haven't heard of a single fire (related to the battery). I find it difficult to believe that simply putting the battery in a box stopped the fires so what else happened? What did I miss?
