Elon Musk Offers Boeing SpaceX Batteries For the 787 Dreamliner 163
An anonymous reader writes "Boeing is currently dealing with a bit of a disaster as the company's 787 Dreamliner has been grounded due to safety concerns. Boeing is currently investigating the situation, but they aren't alone. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, has stepped in to offer his help and technology if Boeing wants it. Musk has had to harness battery tech not only to run his Tesla Motors, but also to function flawlessly aboard SpaceX spacecraft as they travel both in and out of the Earth's atmosphere. If you need a battery to work at any altitude, you'd trust Musk to supply one, and that's exactly what he's offering Boeing."

In moving parts trust,
Or with mere soap and a blade,
Be plying your trade.

At least it was Tesla/SpaceX making the offer, and not Fisker [jalopnik.com].

The problem is not with the batteries, the electrical system, or monitoring. It was revealed over a week ago that the problem was with protons mysteriously shrinking by over 4% causing an under-current that tripped the recharge circuits resulting in an over-current that sounded like whoosh.
