LITHIUMSAFE:
BATTERY SAFETY WORKSHOP


Every time a hoverboard, e-bike or consumer electronic device catches fire, people delay their conversion from ICE to EV, from utility power to solar & storage. To mobilize the industry, Soteria is organizing a conference to foster an open dialogue about safety in lithium-ion batteries. The agenda will combine company perspectives on safety with panel discussions on the safety problem, approaches to solve it, and how testing and certification can be used to ensure public safety. Through a wide variety of perspectives and deep discussion, the conference hopes to focus a dialogue on improving the industry, which will in turn grow the battery industry.
