What is BATSO?

BATSO stands for BATtery Safety Organization. It is a new norm and improves information for consumers and safety when handling new battery technology for light electric vehicles (LEV for short). BATSO is a cooperative project from TÜV Rheinland, the non-profit organization ExtraEnergy, the ITRI institute in Taiwan, and Underwriters Laboratories from the USA.
