The 787 has two identical lithium-ion batteries, one of which is located toward the front of the plane and powers cockpit electrical systems, the other toward the rear and used to start an auxiliary power unit while the plane is on the ground, among other functions.
Previous airliners from Boeing, Airbus and other manufacturers have used a combination of electrical and mechanical power drawn from a plane's engines.
He says, for example, it took almost five hours on Monday morning to get a generator to the plane to power the air conditioning.

Those batteries are used to power electrical systems, especially when the plane's engines are idle.
Luckily, I flew Virgin America, which had the prescience in 2008 to install a power outlet at every seat on every plane important in the age of BYO entertainment since watching movies and surfing the net drains the battery on portable devices very quickly.

Two years later, after Zia ul-Haq was killed when his plane dropped out of the sky, she was elected to power.
Boeing said the fire was traced to a battery unit that helps to power electrical systems when the engines are idle -- typically while a plane is being serviced or cleaned.

This plane is an indispensable part of America's ability to project power.
Under an unnaturally black sky is this lateral plane of illumination, because, as it turns out, we have a power outage in town.
The plane also uses two batteries in parallel where Boeing uses one, reducing the power that each one stores and discharges, Airbus officials said.
The Dreamliner is the first plane in the world to use the lithium ion batteries, which are lighter, hold more power and recharge more quickly.
