New whitepaper on safe charging of lithium-ion batteries

Do you charge lithium-ion batteries at your workplace? For example, for tools, pallet trucks or (delivery) bikes? Then this whitepaper is highly relevant for you.

Charging lithium-ion batteries involves serious risks. A single defective battery or unsafe charging setup can quickly lead to a fire, with major consequences for your building, your staff and your business operations. On top of that, insurers are setting increasingly strict requirements for how batteries must be stored and charged.

But what exactly are the risks? What regulations apply, and what do insurers expect?

Clear information is often hard to find

In practice, it can be difficult to access reliable and easy-to-understand guidance on safe charging. That’s why we’ve completely updated our whitepaper — practical, clear, and fully up to date.

In this whitepaper, you’ll learn:

  • What the risks are when charging lithium-ion batteries
  • Why battery fires are so dangerous and hard to extinguish
  • What regulations and standards apply, including the VDMA 24994 test requirements
  • What’s changing under new European legislation
  • How to meet insurers’ expectations, including the use of certified battery safes

This whitepaper helps you understand the risks, make well-informed decisions, and keep your workplace safe.
