Lithium batteries are becoming more and more ubiquitous in portable electronics and electrical devices. Their diverse form-factors and favourable energy storage characteristics make them the prime choice of batteries in many applications. Yet the high density of stored energy along with the combustion characteristics. The main objective of the project is to evaluate the feasibility of the detection of lithium batteries transported as checked baggage using the. Notwithstanding that screeners shall primarily focus their attention on identification of prohibited items from a security perspective, there. Four technical tasks have been identified to cover the scope of the activity and fulfil the project objectives: 1. Task 1: Review of state-of-the-art solutions, development of test plan and protocol. The main outcome of the project is to assess the valid and cost-effective technical, operational and regulatory solutions to be used for detecting lithium batteries in checked.

What is battery research?
The Faraday Conference focuses on reducing battery cost, weight, and volume; improving performance and reliability; and developing whole-life strategies including recycling and reuse through collaborations between research scientists and industry partners.
Can rapsican screening equipment detect lithium batteries in checked baggage?
Rapsican screening equipment The main outcome of the project is to assess the valid and cost-effective technical, operational and regulatory solutions to be used for detecting lithium batteries in checked baggage, while considering additional potential safety benefits for other transport scenarios (e.g. cargo).
Can lithium batteries be detected in checked baggage?
In December 2022, EASA appointed a consortium to deliver this research study for the specific case of detecting lithium batteries in checked baggage. The consortium is led by Rapiscan Systems and supported by CAA International. Lithium batteries are becoming more and more ubiquitous in portable electronics and electrical devices.
