Lithium-ion batteries are the main type of rechargeable battery used and stored in commercial premises and residential buildings. The risks associated with these batteries can lead to a fire and/or an explosion with little or no warning.
Why do lithium-ion batteries catch fire? Lithium-ion battery cells combine a flammable electrolyte with significant stored energy, and if a lithium-ion battery cell creates more heat than it can effectively disperse, it can lead to a rapid uncontrolled release of heat energy, known as ‘thermal runaway’, that can result in a fire or explosion.
Puncturing a lithium-ion battery can release flammable electrolyte, which can ignite and cause a fire. Avoid exposing the battery to water or other liquids. Liquid contact can damage the internal components and potentially lead to a short circuit, which can then cause the battery to ignite or explode.
Shearing tells us that our dependence on lithium ion batteries is only going to go up in the immediate future, with a rising demand of consumer electronics and an increase in intermittent renewable energy sources.
The ideal surface for storing lithium-ion batteries is concrete, metal, or ceramic or any non-flammable material. Batteries can be stored in a metal cabinet such as a chemical-storage cabinet, make sure that batteries are not touching each other. It is recommended to have in place a fire detector in the storage area.
The positive ions (Li + in lithium ion batteries) recombine with electrons at the surface of the negative electrode, ready to start all over again when the battery is connected to a circuit. A typical lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
