Excess battery voltage ruled out by NTSB in Dreamliner incident
- USA: Monday, January 21 - 2013 at 04:26
The US National Transportation Safety Board has ruled out excess voltage as the cause of a battery fire on the Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner jet operated by Japan Airlines Co (JAL) at Boston airport this month, Reuters has reported. "Examination of the flight recorder data from the JAL B-787 airplane indicates that the APU (auxiliary power unit) battery did not exceed its designed voltage of 32 volts," the NTSB said. On Friday, a Japanese safety official told reporters that excessive electricity might have overheated the battery in the ANA-owned Dreamliner which was forced to make the emergency landing at Japan's Takamatsu airport last week.
