The growing adoption of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in data centres responds to the need to improve energy efficiency, increase storage density and enable new backup and energy management capabilities. However, alongside these benefits come critical safety challenges that must be properly understood and managed to protect both facilities and business continuity.

The aim is to provide attendees with a clear and practical overview of how to balance innovation with safety, enabling the use of lithium batteries as a reliable and secure solution in critical data centre infrastructure.

The risks associated with lithium batteries will be addressed, as well as the mitigation measures to be implemented to ensure safety, based on international regulations and standards that should inspire us in the deployment of this type of technology.

Huawei, with its extensive experience in this segment, will share its best practices, lessons learned, and security policy.
