These batteries store large amounts of chemical energy and can release hazardous hydrogen gas, corrosive sulphuric acid, and high‑current electrical arcs if mishandled.

The talk covers three primary hazards – explosive hydrogen gas, acid burns, and electrical arcs – and links them to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and British Standard BS EN 50342:2015.
