AI Customer ServiceThis month we have had at least two large lithium-ion battery fires in Australia – one in the Sydney airport car park and another one more recently at the Bouldercombe battery storage site in Queensland. When a lithium-ion battery fire breaks out, the damage can be extensive.
Lithium-ion batteries, found in many popular consumer products, are under scrutiny again following a massive fire this week in New York City thought to be caused by the battery that powered an electric scooter. At least seven people have been injured in a five-alarm fire in the Bronx which required the attention of 200 firefighters.
The devastating consequences of rapidly spreading and often challenging-to-extinguish fires involving lithium-ion batteries have been well-documented in recent months. Recent stories have included fires as a result of electric vehicles (EV) on board ships, and in other parts of the supply chain.
When a lithium-ion battery fire breaks out, the damage can be extensive. These fires are not only intense, they are also long-lasting and potentially toxic. What causes these fires? Most electric vehicles humming along Australian roads are packed with lithium-ion batteries.
Incidents of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery-related fires are increasing globally, leading to physical damage and personal loss. The resulting claims have insurers reevaluating their liabilities, as businesses and policymakers seek to better understand the rise in incidents and take steps to mitigate the risk.
According to Kerber, the number of lithium-ion battery-based fires is growing with enormous frequency both in the United States and internationally, particularly when it comes to e-bikes and e-scooters, due to an uptick in purchases of these products during the pandemic.
