Dr Yunlong Zhao from the Advanced Technology Institute, the University of Surrey, explained:
“We have all heard horror stories of lithium-ion batteries in transport settings, usually down to issues around cracked casing caused by exposure to stressful environments, such as extreme temperature changes...
