Lithium battery fires and accidents are on the rise and present risks that can be mitigated if the technology is well understood. This paper provides information to help prevent fire, injury and loss of intellectual and other property. Lithium batteries have higher energy densities than legacy batteries (up to 100 times higher).
Best working temperatures are between 15°C and 35°C. Proper lithium-ion batteries storage is critical for maintaining an optimum battery performance and reducing the risk of fire and/or explosion. Many recent accidents regarding lithium-ion battery fires have been connected to inadequate storage area or conditions.
Ensure that an emergency action plan (EAP) for a workplace with lithium-powered devices or batteries includes lithium-related incident response procedures based on manufacturer’s instructions for responding to battery failures including fires and/or explosions.
These problems are then acted upon to rectify the manufacturing process. Lithium-ion technology is generally safe when quality battery manufacturers take exhaustive steps to minimize design flaws, vet material suppliers and control quality of production.
In a world that is moving away from conventional fuels, lithium batteries have increasingly become the energy storage system of choice. Production and development of lithium-ion batteries are likely to proceed at a rapid pace as demand grows. The manufacturing process uses chemicals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other hazardous materials.
The intent of this guideline is to provide users of lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium polymer (LiPo) cells and battery packs with enough information to safety handle them under normal and emergency conditions.
