Find concealed batteries where visual screening falls short
Lithium-ion batteries move through supply chains in enormous numbers and may be concealed, mislabeled or difficult to identify inside packages and cluttered spaces. A trained detection dog can rapidly search for its conditioned target odor and indicate areas that warrant closer examination.
ScentWorks K9 builds deployment plans around the site, search objective, throughput and operational constraints—not a one-size-fits-all patrol.
Where teams work
Built for real operational environments
Facilities & Warehouses
Screen storage, receiving, inventory and waste-stream areas according to a defined search plan.
Secure Environments
Help locate prohibited or concealed batteries and battery-powered devices in controlled settings.
Recycling & E-Waste
Support targeted searches where lithium-ion batteries may enter an incompatible material stream.
Mail & Package Screening
Add a mobile odor-search capability to package workflows without claiming to replace required screening.
Special Operations
Programs can be tailored to site-specific risks, access rules, throughput and reporting needs.
How deployment works
A clear, accountable search process
01
Define
Establish the target, search area and operating constraints.
02
Plan
Set routes, safety boundaries and response procedures.
03
Search
The canine team works systematically and documents indications.
04
Escalate
Your authorized personnel perform any required secondary inspection.
Important distinction: the dog searches for a trained target odor. An indication does not determine a battery’s charge, condition, damage, temperature, compliance status or fire risk. Canine detection complements—not replaces—regulatory screening, safety assessment and emergency procedures.

Lithium-ion detection vs. electronics detection
Lithium-ion battery detection focuses on the odor associated with batteries, cells and battery-powered items. Electronics detection is commonly structured to locate hidden digital devices or storage media. Some programs may benefit from both capabilities, but the correct target and training plan depend on the operational goal.
