TOKYO — A probe into the overheating of a lithium ion battery in an All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 that made an emergency landing found it was improperly wired, Japan’s Transport Ministry said Wednesday.
The Transport Safety Board said in a report that the battery for the aircraft’s auxiliary power unit was incorrectly connected to the main battery that overheated, although a protective valve would have prevented power from the auxiliary unit from causing damage.
Flickering of the plane’s tail and wing lights after it landed and the fact the main battery was switched off led the investigators to conclude there was an abnormal current traveling from the auxiliary power unit due to miswiring.

United Airlines inaugurated Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights from Denver to Tokyo on Monday, marking the Mile High City's first nonstop service to Asia.
Passengers were treated to a Japanese drum ceremony at the gate, along with cake and a sake toast prior to boarding. The flight pushed back a few minutes ahead of schedule and taxied to the runway with a water cannon salute sendoff.
The daily flight to Tokyo's Narita International Airport was originally scheduled to begin March 31, but was delayed because of the worldwide grounding of all Boeing 787s over concerns about the safety of its battery system.

An indication of an oil filter problem prompted the crew of a Boeing 787 flying from Denver to Tokyo to divert to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, a United Airlines spokeswoman said.
Flight 139 landed normally and an airline maintenance team was inspecting it, United spokeswoman Mary Ryan said in an email statement.
The plane touched down in Seattle shortly after 4 p.m., a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said.
United just put its 787s back in the air May 20 after smoldering batteries on two 787s owned by other airlines prompted authorities to ground the planes in January.
In her statement, the United spokeswoman said the crew decided to land in Seattle because of "an indication of a problem with an oil filter."
The airline was providing customers with motel rooms and planned to fly them to Tokyo on Wednesday, Ryan said.
The plane carried about 200 passengers.
Asked whether the latest 787 issue raised any concerns with United after the recent battery issue, the spokeswoman said she did not immediately have any additional information.

No, but it's a prank from a summer intern at the NTSB.
