Boeing said the problems with the Japanese airline's 787 aircraft were discovered during regular maintenance.
No passengers on board.
The company says it appears that a single battery "emits" or releases gas.
A year ago, a lithium-ion battery on a Japanese Airlines 787 passenger plane parked at Boston Logan International Airport caught fire.
Nine days later, another battery accident forced 787 airlines to land in Japan in an emergency.
These issues prompted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
And other authorities will have all 787 in more than three months.
After Boeing changed the battery system, the plane started flying again, adding a box that was more difficult to hold the battery and taking steps to control any short circuitCircuit or fire.
The changes seem to have played a design role in today's battery incident, Boeing said.
It says it is working with Japanese airlines to get the plane to fly again.
Since the incident occurred in Japan and involved a Japanese airline, any investigation was led by the Japanese authorities.
Peter Knudson, a spokesman for NTSB, said that if the Japan Transportation Safety Commission began its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Commission of the United States would "certainly be involved ".
NTSB said the incident was reported as a "smoking incident ".
"NTSB is expected to complete the investigation of 787 fires in Boston by the end of the year and announce the results at a public meeting this fall.
"Anything we can learn aboutlatest)
"Battery failure will help with the ongoing investigation," Knudson said . ".
The Forum Fisheries Agency says it is working with Boeing and the Civil Aviation Authority of Japan to investigate the latest failures.
