On Monday, Japan’s Transport Ministry said its inspectors and the Federal Aviation Administration found no problems with production at GS Yuasa. The company’s lithium-ion batteries have been at the center of an investigation into one of Boeing’s grounded Dreamliners, until now.
Now, inspectors are checking the system that monitors the battery’s voltage and temperature.
Thousands of Dreamliners remain grounded indefinitely.
