Format: Talks + Q&A
As the electric revolution accelerates, the pressure to innovate safely with lithium-ion batteries intensifies. This session explores critical risks in EV battery manufacturing, testing, and storage, drawing on real-world incidents, fire science, and industry best practices. Join leading safety engineers and experts as we unpack the science behind thermal runaway, dispel myths, and examine practical strategies to mitigate risks – from safe design and testing environments to appropriate containment and emergency protocols. This is a must-attend session for those aiming to innovate responsibly while protecting people, property, and progress.
Key themes:
- Understand the real fire behaviours of lithium-ion batteries – beyond the myths, including temperature profiles, smoke toxicity, and reignition risks.
- Gain practical insights into battery storage design – such as compartmentation, state-of-charge management, and fire suppression systems.
- Learn how to integrate safety into every stage – from manufacturing procedures and testing protocols to emergency planning and staff training.
