AI Customer Servicethe maximum allowable SOC of lithium-ion batteries is 30% and for static storage the maximum recommended SOC is 60%, although lower values will further reduce the risk. 3 Risk control
AI Customer ServiceAn important concept when talking about lithium-ion batteries and their associated risks is “thermal runaway.” Physical damage to a lithium-ion battery cell, degradation due to extreme temperatures, ageing, or poor battery maintenance are among the many potential causes of thermal runaway.
However, despite the glow of opportunity, it is important that the safety risks posed by batteries are effectively managed. Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new.
Allow us to provide strategic risk management consultancy or peer review your project plans. As lithium ion batteries as an energy source become common place, we can help you to effectively manage risk, safeguard your assets and protect your people as they interface with this new technology.
FACTS: No deaths have resulted from energy storage facilities in the United States. Battery energy storage facilities are very different from consumer electronics, with secure, highly regulated electric infrastructure that use robust codes and standards to guide and maintain safety.
Although Li-ion batteries are outside the scope of the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015, the government confirmed in 2021 that the Health and Safety Executive believed the current regulatory framework was sufficient and suitably robust in relation to Li-ion batteries and battery energy storage systems.
Batteries should be sourced only from reputable suppliers and should be stored safely. Careful consideration should be given to mitigating the risks of storage in communal or enclosed areas, or near to escape routes. Battery damage and disposal can pose a significant risk.
