Battery Safety in Logistics and Storage Webinar

Battery safety doesn’t stop at the lab. Risks often increase during storage, transport, and handling — especially for lithium-ion batteries exposed to changing environmental and operational conditions.

In this on-demand webinar, Element expert Emily Klein shares practical insights into battery transport safety, storage risks, and the real-world failure mechanisms that occur outside controlled testing environments.

Why watch this webinar?

• Address gaps in understanding how battery risks increase during storage, transport, and temporary charging
• Overcome confusion around UN38.3 compliance, documentation, and labeling requirements
• Avoid common packaging and handling errors that can lead to safety failures
• Understand real-world failure modes caused by logistics and environmental conditions
• Improve cross-functional awareness across engineering, operations, and compliance teams

Key topics covered in this webinar:

• What risks do batteries face during air cargo transport?
• How does UN38.3 compliance impact shipping safety?
• What are the best practices for battery storage and temporary charging?
• How can improper packaging lead to failure or safety incidents?
• What failure mechanisms occur during long-term storage and aging?

As battery technologies continue to evolve, ensuring safety across the entire lifecycle has become increasingly complex. While much attention is placed on testing and validation during development, critical risks often emerge later — particularly during transportation, storage, and interim use.

Lithium-ion battery systems are especially sensitive to environmental changes such as temperature fluctuations, pressure variations during air cargo, and mechanical stresses from vibration or improper handling. Without the right safeguards, these factors can accelerate degradation or trigger failure mechanisms that are not always visible during initial testing.

Regulatory frameworks such as UN38.3 play a key role in mitigating these risks, but compliance alone is not always enough. Gaps in documentation, labeling, or packaging practices can introduce vulnerabilities that impact both safety and performance.

This webinar brings together failure analysis expertise and real-world testing experience to highlight where these risks occur, how they manifest, and what organizations can do to better manage them. From understanding how batteries behave during long-term storage to identifying common failure modes linked to logistics conditions, the session provides actionable insight for teams across engineering, operations, and compliance.

For organizations working with battery systems, aligning testing, transport, and storage strategies is essential to reducing risk and ensuring reliability throughout the product lifecycle.
