It has been reported that another JAL 787 has suffered a battery-related problem whilst on the ground. This follows a number of incidents since the plane was introduced.
I daresay Boeing will say that the redesigned batteries performed as desired. If they say that, they are wrong. There is a problem. It needs fixing, and this time fixing properly.

Even if it was just 'venting of a single battery cell', and things 'appear to have worked as designed', it is not good enough.
The root cause needs to be understood, and it needs fixing. If the planes need grounding - again - in the meantime, then so be it.
