TOKYO — Japanese investigators studying the potentially flammable batteries that have grounded Boeing’s 787 fleet wrapped up an on-site inspection at the batteries’ manufacturer Monday and said they would continue their inquiry at a maker of a device that monitors the batteries.
Japan’s Ministry of Transport said that for now, investigators had found no quality control problems during an eight-day inquiry at GS Yuasa, the maker of the lithium-ion batteries at the center of the inquiry. But officials stressed that the cause of recent battery malfunctions was still unknown, and that GS Yuasa remained under investigation.

Did you really think they would find any problem? The Ministry find fault with a JAPANESE manufacturer? The Fukushima nuclear disaster was mishandled by the government, as a coverup. Why can't more aircraft parts be designed and made in THIS COUNTRY??
