Objectives

State LiPo hazard characteristics and the battery-fire response; demonstrate correct charger-case grouping and settings; prepare batteries for storage and UN3480 Class 9 transport.

Outline

  • Chemistry honesty: what 570 Wh per pack means in fire terms; ignition above 150 °C; re-ignition hours later.
  • Charging discipline: group by state of charge, ≤30 A, attended at all times, flame-retardant area.
  • Storage charge state, 20–25 °C rule, and why batteries never live in the truck.
  • UN 38.3 paperwork — shipping is a planning task, not an afterthought.
  • Fire response walkthrough: upwind, CO₂ + sand, EMS, SDS.

Outline fidelity for demonstration.
