The risks associated with lithium batteries - Rerun
Due to technical issues, we are rerunning the session - Lithium-ion batteries were first mass-produced in the early 1990s, and they are performing a key role in the move away from reliance upon fossil fuels. However, using lithium to store energy presents a new set of risks to property underwriters. This session is designed to draw the underwriter’s and broker’s attention to these risks and why rating and wording alterations may be needed to counter this growing problem.
