Customer ServiceWe can also infer that cycling-induced aging is more important than calendar aging for eVTOL batteries. Note that battery life is <10% of the lifespan of an eVTOL aircraft, hence, the aircraft should be designed to accommodate battery technology advancements over decades. Finally, eVTOL batteries have more stringent requirements on battery

Customer ServiceBattery room ventilation codes and standards protect workers by limiting the accumulation of hydrogen in the battery room. Hydrogen release is a normal part of the charging process, but trouble arises when the flammable gas becomes concentrated enough to create an explosion risk — which is why safety standards are vitally important.
Customer ServiceCommon standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.
Two major characteristics determine the suitability of floors for battery room application: flatness and levelness. “Flatness” is defined as the floor’s similarity to a true, geometric plane. “Levelness” describes a concrete slab’s degree of tilt, with greater similarity to a perfect horizontal line equaling greater levelness.
Care must be taken at the design and siting stage to ensure that there can be no ingress of moisture from fixed fire-fighting apparatus in rooms above the battery room. Since battery capacity and performance is affected by temperature, a stable ambient temperature of 20°C is sought within the battery room.
BHS Battery Room Floors meet or exceed F-min ratings along defined traffic paths, such as battery extractor travel lines. This provides added assurance for the long-term operation of battery extractors and allows for a more efficient — and therefore more productive — battery room.
Additional training is necessary for that “qualified employee” to be qualified to enter a battery room to conduct a specific task. What they are trained for is no different than other training requirements. The employer must know, document and train the employee for the assigned task and exposed risks.
