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.
