The Airbus 350 will use lithium-ion batteries.
Airbus's new A350 wide-body jet, a rival to Boeing's 787 that will make its first flight around the middle of the year, also uses lithium ion batteries, but in a different setup. As a result, the company said the plane was unlikely to face the same problems.
Speaking to reporters at the company's annual commercial results presentation Thursday, Airbus Chief Executive Fabrice Bregier said "we are confident our design is robust" and "don't see any reason to change."

ROFLMAO
These batteries are fine when managed correctly. It may be a short somewhere else in the wiring loom that caused the battery to melt down. Or it could be a fault in the charging software. Either way instead of jumping to conclusions perhaps we should wait for the report?
OMG... The laptop I am using has Li-ion batteries... Run away run away....
