Cost-effective lithium-ion battery safety
Case study overview
At Risk and Safety Solutions Melbourne (RSSM), we’ve recently worked with several medium-scale businesses facing challenges with the storage and handling of lithium-ion batteries (LiB) from leading manufacturers like Tesla, BYD, and PXixi. These businesses often need to comply with stringent safety and regulatory requirements, driven by concerns from landlords, insurers, and local councils.
For example, we provided consultancy to Krannich Solar Distribution, 2/24 Slough Rd, Altona, VIC 30218.
For these businesses, the primary challenges included:
