U.S. aviation accident investigators today will resume grilling officials from Boeing Co. and the government over the approval of the 787’s batteries that failed and led to the longest U.S. grounding of a commercial plane in the jet age.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Debbie Hersman yesterday expressed concerns that a Boeing official was providing incomplete information about how it calculated the chances its batteries on the 787 Dreamliner would overheat.
