Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Battery repair technicians perform inspections, diagnoses, maintenance, and repairs on various storage batteries to restore and maintain their performance as specialists.
Description
Battery repair technicians conduct regular inspections such as capacity tests and internal resistance measurements on storage battery products like lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries to identify degradation or abnormalities. Based on measurement results, they perform cell replacements, terminal and case repairs, and adjustments to charge-discharge control systems (BMS) to keep them in a reusable state. Since this involves handling high-voltage equipment, safety management and legal compliance are required. Demand is expanding in a wide range of fields, including industrial, vehicle-mounted, building, and renewable energy storage systems.
Future Outlook
With the spread of renewable energy and progress in electrification, demand for maintenance and repair of storage systems is increasing. Expectations for recycling and reuse technologies are also growing, requiring new skills such as advanced diagnostic techniques and remote maintenance via ICT integration.
