Li-Ion High Voltage Battery Awareness Training

This four-hour online course introduces Li-Ion high-voltage battery cells and lower-voltage modules, focusing on hazard recognition, handling limits, and safe work planning. It is designed for personnel who encounter these components in production, storage, shipping, or oversight.

Course length

4 hours online. Instructor-led discussion and examples; no hands-on electrical work.

Who should attend

Line and warehouse personnel, safety staff, supervisors, managers, and others who handle, store, move, or oversee battery cells and modules.

Learning outcomes

  • Recognize Li-Ion battery cell and module construction and common hazards.
  • Identify indicators of damage, abnormal conditions, and thermal events and describe appropriate escalation.
  • Discuss safe handling, storage, movement, and work planning for cells and modules below 60 VDC.
  • Understand the limits of this awareness course and when qualified personnel and employer procedures are required.

Topics and format

Battery fundamentals; cell and module characteristics; electrical, chemical, thermal, and stored-energy hazards; handling and storage; incident recognition and response boundaries. Online discussion and examples.

Li-Ion is the primary chemistry. The same course can cover sodium-ion and traditional battery chemistries as needed by the customer.

This course does not qualify participants as battery workers or train them to use electrical protective equipment. Employers determine task-specific qualification and authorization.
