Battery Performance Testing and Safety

Welcome to the Battery Safety and Performance Testing  Course.

Course Overview  

Battery safety and performance testing are essential for ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and safe deployment of batteries in applications such as electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and grid systems. This course delves into risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, including thermal runaway, toxicity, and hazards from overcharge or mechanical abuse, while covering performance metrics like energy density, cycle life, and capacity.  

This course explores battery chemistries (primary, secondary, lead-acid, and lithium-ion), safety standards (Indian and global), testing methods for abuse conditions, and strategies to mitigate risks through design, management systems, and regulations. Participants will gain insights into historical incidents, material influences on safety, and research opportunities to enhance battery durability, sustainability, and electro-mobility adoption.
