Battery Safety UK 2026
Join us at the Battery Safety UK 2026 conference at the University of Warwick on 6 May:
“Join leading experts from industry, academia, and government for a one-day event dedicated to tackling the battery safety challenges shaping the UK’s journey toward electrification.
This event will bring together key stakeholders in research, manufacturing, and policy to share cutting-edge insights, explore real-world solutions, and strengthen partnerships across the battery ecosystem“

About the SafeBatt project
The Faraday Institution’s SafeBatt project is a collaboration, led by the University of Oxford, of seven universities (Oxford, University College London, King’s College London, Newcastle, Sheffield, Warwick and Cambridge) as well as industrial partners, each bringing unique capabilities to the investigation of the science of safety.
Project Goals
1
Understand failure events through state-of-the-art instrumentation, imaging and high speed techniques.
2
Understand the safety signatures of degraded cells and investigate how materials properties cause safety concerns or varied safety signatures.
3
Demonstrate detection methods and mitigation strategies.
4
Determine the toxicity of cell fires and run-off, and the composition and behaviour of the vapour cloud.
5
Develop an initial model of thermal runaway, cell to cell propagation and reaction pathways; using data to parametrise the models.
6
Give a clear point of access for industry and government bodies seeking knowledge and engagement on battery safety related issues.
