Battery safety is the single most critical issue in the future of electric watercraft. Charging fires, thermal runaway and poor-quality imports represent serious risks to users, property and lives.
This category explains lithium battery chemistry, European certification frameworks, battery management systems, waterproof sealing and correct charging protocols. It addresses the causes of marine charging fires and how professional engineering prevents them.
WSI strongly advocates European-certified battery systems only. We analyse cell quality, cooling architecture, charging hardware and installation standards to protect buyers and operators from catastrophic failures.
Battery safety will determine the long-term success of electric water sports.
