Lithium Battery Services

JET provides lithium battery services to the world’s largest oilfield service companies in more than 70 oil- and gas-producing countries. For more than 25 years, we’ve managed the full battery lifecycle at rig sites, offshore vessels, field bases, factories, labs, warehouses, and data centers.

We serve four main groups:

  • Oil services companies running battery-powered downhole tools
  • Battery manufacturers and BESS integrators that build and supply lithium cells, packs, and energy storage systems
  • Aerospace and defense companies that design, integrate, or manage lithium batteries in their systems
  • Data centers using lithium-ion UPS systems and battery energy storage systems (BESS)

Industries We Serve

Oil Services

The oil services industry still relies heavily on lithium metal chemistries, such as thionyl chloride and sulfuryl chloride, for LWD, MWD, GWD, subsea, buoy, memory, and other tools. Demand for these high-temperature cells keeps rising as operators drill deeper and hotter wells.

Your field crews, vessel operators, and client personnel can all be exposed to lithium battery hazards. We provide the training, audits, permits, and field support to manage those risks, including in countries with no local recycling.

Battery Manufacturers and BESS Integrators

Making and shipping batteries creates its own compliance load. We help with:

  • Training for production, warehouse, and shipping staff
  • Shipping compliance, including UN 38.3 test summaries
  • Returns of failed cells, warranty units, and damaged modules from customers and project sites
  • Recycling for production scrap and end-of-life batteries
  • Audits of your recyclers and logistics vendors

Aerospace and Defense

When you build lithium batteries into your products, you take on risks at every stage, from lab testing to field use. We help with:

  • Lab and test-area safety procedures
  • Shipping prototype and pre-production batteries
  • Audits of your facilities and your supply chain
  • Training aligned with your program’s lithium battery safety requirements

Data Centers

Lithium-ion UPS systems and BESS put large amounts of stored energy inside your facility. We help your team:

  • Set up safe storage, handling, and emergency response procedures
  • Train staff and contractors who install, service, and decommission battery systems
  • Ship damaged, defective, and end-of-life modules
  • Recycle batteries when you replace or retire a system

    Our Services

    Lithium Battery Training

    We offer three levels of lithium battery training:

    LevelCourseLength
    1Hazard Awareness30 minutes to 2 hours
    2Technical and Packaging8 hours
    3Battery Safety Officer (BSO) Certification2 days

    We deliver training onsite in multiple languages, or online in English and Spanish. Live interpretation is available in French, Portuguese, Russian, and other languages. We tailor each course to your compliance requirements and site operations.

    Program Management and Permits

    A strong battery program starts with a written corporate standard covering all chemistries. We write guidelines and manuals for the full lifecycle: storage, handling, use, and end-of-life disposal.

    We also handle permits and liaison work for cross-border shipments of end-of-life lithium batteries, which often fall under the Basel Convention and OECD transboundary rules. This includes:

    • Working directly with local agencies to speed up permits
    • In-country representation to manage your compliance obligations
    • Site visits to bases or consolidation points

    See International Services

    Field Work and Packaging

    We provide onsite field and packaging services, including emergency response readiness and standby support during testing. Services follow our standard rate schedule and can include:

    • Field services managers or in-country representatives
    • Retrieving, packaging, labeling, and preparing batteries for shipment
    • Coordinating with transport partners, including base-to-ship moves
    • JET field staff when no qualified local provider is available

    Emergency Response and Cleanup

    Lithium battery incidents take specialized expertise. We deploy project managers and field staff to supervise cleanup after fires, leaks, and other incidents. We can mobilize to almost any country on short notice.

    Auditing and Compliance

    We audit your facilities for safe storage, use, handling, and testing. We also audit your vendors, including transport companies, warehouses, and recyclers, against regulations and your corporate standards.

    Audits can reference:

    AreaStandards
    TransportUN 38.3, US DOT 49 CFR, IATA DGR, IMDG Code
    Cells and batteriesIEC 62133, IEC 62619, UL 1642, UL 2054, UL 1973
    Energy storage systemsUL 9540, UL 9540A, NFPA 855
    Cross-border wasteBasel Convention, OECD transboundary rules

    Recycling and Disposal

    We help you choose recycling and disposal options for end-of-life lithium batteries. We work with processors in the United States, Canada, Germany, and other regions that use proprietary recovery technologies.

    We also audit alternate facilities to confirm their processes meet regulatory requirements and your corporate standards.
