Battery Safety
Batteries have become daily use components for many applications. New growing
segments like EV and Grid storage batteries extend the traditional ordinary battery
applications. In the race for energy density, we shouldn’t forget the safety – as an
example the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery safety case. Unfortunately, we face daily
safety events with injuries and severe damage. This tutorial focuses on portable,
stationary, and automotive battery safety along the battery cycle life (acceptance,
testing, assembly, use, transportation, and disposal). The training incorporates Shmuel
De-Leon’s and other experiences on battery safety representing over 30 years of work
in the field. The motivation behind the training is to provide attendees with the
knowledge needed to safely handle the batteries in their organization and to support
reduction in safety events.
Topics to be covered:
• Battery Safety Hazards – Movies and examples
• Battery Safety Guidelines – recommendations on proper work with batteries
(Acceptance, testing, battery pack design, use, transportation, disposal)
• What to do in case of a battery safety event - Recommendations
• Battery Safety Equipment – Check list for labs and warehouses
