The chemical makeup of lithium-ion batteries makes them susceptible to overheating if not managed properly. Lithium-ion battery fires are typically caused by thermal runaway, where internal temperatures rise uncontrollably. Lithium-ion battery fires can be prevented through careful handling, proper storage and regular monitoring.
Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, lightweight, long-lasting and highly efficient. The chemical makeup of lithium-ion batteries makes them susceptible to overheating if not managed properly. Lithium-ion battery fires are typically caused by thermal runaway, where internal temperatures rise uncontrollably.
Due to the self-sustaining process of thermal runaway, Lithium-ion battery fires are also difficult to quell. Bigger batteries such as those used in electric vehicles may reignite hours or even days after the event, even after being cooled. Source: Firechief® Global
Lithium-ion battery fires are typically caused by thermal runaway, where internal temperatures rise uncontrollably. Lithium-ion battery fires can be prevented through careful handling, proper storage and regular monitoring. Fire extinguishers explicitly designed for lithium-ion battery fires are the best to use.
As the heat builds, the battery cells rupture and ignite. The fire spreads quickly as more cells decompose and vent gases, creating a chain reaction. Unlike other types of fires, which typically burn at a steady rate, lithium-ion battery fires escalate much faster and are significantly more difficult to control.
Over the past four years, insurance companies have changed the status of Lithium-ion batteries and the devices which contain them, from being an emerging fire risk to a recognised risk, therefore those responsible for fire safety in workplaces and public spaces need a much better understanding of this risk, and how best to mitigate it.
