In addition, this suite will cover emergency response protocols in the event of a battery-related incident. The courses in this suite are ideal for battery manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians and other personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.

Large lithium-ion battery systems provide power to electric vehicles, computer data centers, commercial and residential energy storage systems, and other heavy-duty purposes. If not handled correctly, these batteries can cause fires or explosions that cause injury and damage to property. Take this course to learn about the different types of lithium batteries, how lithium-ion batteries work, their potential hazards and the importance of third-party certification. This course is ideal for battery manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians, and other personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.

Although lithium-ion battery incidents are very rare, when they occur, the failure can be rather spectacular, particularly for large lithium-ion batteries. Even batteries from well-known manufacturers can have quality problems, and care must be taken when handling them. Take this course to learn about safe handling practices for large lithium-ion batteries, as well as the different causes of damage and the steps to take if you suspect a battery may be damaged. This course is ideal for battery manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians, and other personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are more energy dense than ever, which brings greater risk if not managed correctly. These batteries can pose unreasonable risk to health, safety and property when improperly transported in commerce. Take this course to learn about the requirements for safe transportation of lithium-ion batteries by ground, air and water. This course is ideal for battery manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians, and other personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are safe, but as with all batteries, proper storage conditions must be met in order to maintain safety and prevent incidents. If stored improperly, batteries may become damaged and unusable, or even dangerous. Improperly stored lithium-ion batteries may start a fire or contribute to the spread of a fire. Take this course to learn about the guidelines for safely storing lithium-ion batteries. Ideal learners are battery manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians and other battery manufacturing personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries can be a fire hazard even when they are no longer useful in powering equipment and products. Lithium-ion batteries for disposal are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly to avoid harm to people, property and the environment. Take this course to learn about the regulations that govern safe environmental management and disposal of lithium-ion batteries, disposal options, and how to prepare batteries for disposal. Ideal learners are battery manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians, and other personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.
