Responsible Battery Production Specialist
Drive Battery Reliability Through Smarter Production, Quality, and Sustainability Practices.
This 2-day Responsible Battery Production Specialist program delivers a practical and strategic understanding of battery failures, thermal runaway, sustainability, and production quality. Delivered by TÜV SÜD Americas, the training connects real-world field data, north american environmental conditions, and manufacturing realities to battery reliability and lifetime.
Objective:
- Build awareness of battery failure mechanisms and thermal propagation
- Understand sustainability and lifecycle considerations
- Develop knowledge of battery production and quality control
- Prepare professionals to manage battery reliability in real conditions
This course is suitable for:
- NPD and Design & Development Engineers
- R&D Professionals
- Production Engineers
- Reliability & Safety Engineers
- Testing & Validation Engineers
- EV and battery system professionals
Day 1 – Failures, Environment & Sustainability
- Failure modes in battery usage (thermal runaway, imbalance, aging)
- Thermal runaway and propagation mechanisms
- Statistics and field insights
- Case studies (EVs, warehouses, incidents)
- North American-specific environmental challenges
- Sustainability concepts
- Learning from failures and operational quality
Day 2 – Production & Quality
- Cell, module, and pack production overview
- Manufacturing quality principles
- Standards and their influence on battery quality
- Q&A session
You will gain a practical understanding of how batteries behave in real operating conditions, why failures occur, and how production and quality influence battery life. The course explains thermal runaway, aging, imbalance, and environmental stress factors common in North America such as heat, humidity, dust, extreme colds, and logistics challenges.You will also learn how sustainability considerations and production quality affect long-term battery reliability. Through case studies and field data interpretation, you will build the ability to connect design, production, and operational quality to overall battery performance.
By the end of theprogram, participants will be able to:
- Understand common battery failure modes and root causes
- Explain thermal runaway mechanisms and propagation risks
- Assess environmental impacts on battery performance
- Interpret field failure data and case studies
- Understand sustainability and lifecycle factors
- Recognize quality drivers in battery production and operation
- Strong awareness of real-world battery failures
- Improved understanding of battery lifetime drivers
- Knowledge of sustainability and responsible production
- Better quality control awareness in manufacturing
- Industry-relevant insights for North America conditions
