Lithium batteries: Storage, charging, fire protection
Online seminar
VA26-00763
Participation fee: 745 €
The seminar language is German.
Lithium batteries have become an integral part of the industrial environment. Whether in tools, scanners or heavy machinery – the lithium battery has established itself in almost every sector. The reason seems very obvious: lithium batteries are extremely powerful and offer maximum energy with minimum weight. However, the advantages also come with some disadvantages. Improper use or unnoticed damage can lead to a lithium battery catching fire. This poses several challenges in practice:
- How can defects be detected?
- How can fires be detected?
- How can a fire be controlled?
- What can an effective protection concept look like?
These and other questions will be answered in the seminar. The contents of the VdS 3103 and 3856 guidelines, which relate to the operation, testing and evaluation of lithium batteries in safety-relevant applications, will also be looked at. The ADR (“European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road”), which regulates the safe transportation of lithium-ion batteries, will also be explained.

On the topic
Lithium batteries have become an integral part of the modern business environment. Whether in tools, hand scanners or industrial trucks – lithium batteries have established themselves in almost every sector. This is mainly due to their extremely high performance and maximum energy density with low weight. But where there are advantages, there are also risks: Improper use or unnoticed damage can lead to dangerous fires. The seminar will address key questions: How can defects be detected at an early stage? How can fires be detected and controlled? And what does an effective protection concept look like? These and other practical aspects are the focus of the event.
