This workshop will discuss how regulations for transporting lithium battery powered equipment continue to cause various headaches for shippers. The frustration shippers experience when shipping lithium batteries due to continuously changing regulations and inconsistent interpretations. Bob and Jim will provide an update of the latest regulatory changes and discuss how these can impact lithium battery and battery powered equipment shipments. They will discuss what you need to know in order to properly prepare and ship your lithium batteries and equipment to meet compliance and ensure they are safe. They will share experiences that they have had with frustrated shipments experienced by large and small businesses and provide advice on how to minimize delays.

Lithium-Ion Battery Tutorial 

Presented by Battery Design LLC

This full day course surveys all aspects of lithium-ion batteries ranging from materials and processes, to cell designs. A thorough overview of the issues involved in life estimation, thermal behavior, and abuse tolerance is provided. How to design lithium-ion cells is discussed in detail with an emphasis on comparing different chemistries. This course is aimed at managers, engineers and scientists interested in getting a good overview of lithium-ion technology as well as learning how to design lithium-ion cells. No prior knowledge of lithium-ion batteries is assumed.
