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.

While lithium-ion batteries provide an effective and efficient source of power, the likelihood of them overheating, catching on fire, and even leading to explosions increases when they are damaged or improperly used, charged or stored. When incidents happen, it's important that you are prepared to handle them. Take this course to learn what you can do to prepare for an incident involving lithium-ion batteries. This course is ideal for manufacturers and frontline workers, shipping and receiving staff, warehouse staff, engineers, installers, service technicians and other personnel who interact with lithium-ion batteries.
