Battery safety
Lithium-ion batteries give us amazing opportunities, but there are also challenges to overcome. Among other things, you need to consider safety aspects such as the risks involved and how to prevent them.
Target group
The course is aimed at engineers who are about to start working with batteries, and also those who need in-depth knowledge of battery safety.
Course objectives
On completion of the course, you will understand the risks involved in testing and handling batteries. You will also be able to apply this knowledge to prevent the risks.
