Shocking images which were released yesterday of the charred remains of the battery which spontaneously combusted in Japan. Pictures released by the Japanese Transportation Safety Board showed the blackened lithium device with frayed and broken earth wire.

Charred to a crisp: The burnt out remains of the lithium battery from a Boeing 787 which investigators are examining in Japan.

Grounded: The fire on board an All Nippon Airways flight forced the plane to make an emergency landing last month.

Damage: A ground wire which was attached to the burnt battery is showed charred, frayed and broken.

Thanks for posting these pics.

I saw one pic shortly after the incident of the battery pack but nothing this close-up or graphic.

It’s a miracle this didn’t turn into a disaster.
