High-Voltage Lithium-ion Battery Diagnosis & Repair for Automotive Technicians
High-voltage lithium-ion batteries are no longer specialist components, they’re commonplace in modern workshops.
As EVs and plug-in hybrids roll through your doors more frequently, diagnosing and repairing their battery systems safely and competently is no longer optional – it’s essential.
High-Voltage Lithium-ion Battery Diagnosis & Repair is a 1-day technical training course designed for automotive professionals who need to confidently and safely test, diagnose, and carry out repair work on high-voltage lithium-ion battery systems. Whether you’re working with mild hybrids or full EVs, this course gives you the knowledge, skills, and mindset to handle the job correctly.
In this 1-day automotive course, participants will cover:
- Safe working practices for high-voltage lithium-ion battery assembly, disassembly, and diagnosis
- Understanding battery system design, construction, and internal modules
- Diagnosing common faults, including imbalance and insulation issues
