Powering Risk Protection for Battery Manufacturers
Battery manufacturing is the heartbeat of California’s renewable energy and electric vehicle industries. Whether you’re producing lithium-ion, lead-acid, or solid-state batteries, your operations carry complex risks—from chemical exposure to fire hazards, equipment failure, and global supply chain interruptions.
Battery Manufacturing Insurance is designed to help you navigate these risks and keep your operations running smoothly. With policies built for your industry, you can focus on innovation while we handle the unexpected.
What Does Battery Manufacturing Insurance Cover?
Working with hazardous materials and sensitive equipment requires robust and specific protections. A typical battery manufacturing policy can include:
General Liability Insurance – Covers third-party injuries or property damage resulting from your operations
Product Liability Insurance – Protects against lawsuits if your batteries cause injury, fire, or malfunction post-sale
Commercial Property Insurance – Covers buildings, storage units, labs, and high-value machinery from damage due to fire, explosion, or theft
Workers’ Compensation Insurance – Mandatory in California, covers employee injuries from acid burns, chemical exposure, or repetitive tasks
Equipment Breakdown Insurance – Pays for repair or replacement of damaged production equipment or testing machinery
Pollution and Environmental Liability – Covers costs related to chemical spills or improper waste disposal
Business Interruption Insurance – Replaces lost income during forced downtime from fires, power loss, or machine failures
Cyber Liability Insurance – Protects your tech-driven systems and sensitive R&D data from breaches or ransomware attacks
Why Battery Manufacturers in California Need Insurance
Battery production—especially lithium-ion—carries high regulatory and operational risk. Insurance is not optional, it’s essential. Key reasons include:
Chemical & Fire Hazards – The risk of explosion or toxic chemical exposure during production, storage, or transport
Defective Product Lawsuits – If a battery overheats or causes injury, manufacturers face liability even after third-party installation
Supply Chain Disruptions – Delays in acquiring lithium, cobalt, or rare earth metals can cripple production timelines
Employee Safety Regulations – California enforces strict OSHA compliance for hazardous material handling
Environmental Fines – Improper disposal of battery waste could lead to hefty state and federal penalties
Equipment Downtime – When production machinery fails, costs stack up quickly without equipment breakdown coverage
Frequently Asked Questions
Is battery manufacturing considered high risk by insurers?
Yes, due to fire hazards, chemical use, and environmental impact. But tailored coverage can reduce premiums and exposure.
Do I need product liability even if I outsource battery installation?
Absolutely. As the manufacturer, you’re still liable for performance and safety of the battery units post-distribution.
What’s included in pollution liability insurance?
It covers cleanup costs, third-party injury or property damage from chemical spills, and legal expenses related to contamination.
Is cyber insurance necessary in manufacturing?
Yes. Battery manufacturers use connected systems and store proprietary formulas and data, which are frequent targets of cyberattacks.
