Knowledge is power
Tracking and transparent reporting of battery-related incidents — including product type, what happened and the impact — is critical to helping drive understanding of this technology and where the greatest risks exist.

Incident awareness and analysis
Reporting is critical to understanding the depth and nature of this challenge. With limited visibility into battery incidents globally, we know this data is just the beginning – there are many more incidents occurring than are being reported. Some countries release bulk estimates rather than individual data points. Others, like Japan, provide weekly data points through the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation.
