AI Customer ServiceLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely regarded as established energy storage devices owing to their high energy density, extended cycling life, and rapid charging capabilities. Nevertheless,
AI Customer ServiceLithium batteries are generally safe and unlikely to fail, but only so long as there are no defects and the batteries are not damaged. When lithium batteries fail to operate safely or are damaged, they may present a fire and/or explosion hazard. Damage from improper use, storage, or charging may also cause lithium batteries to fail.
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).
For a fire risk assessment to be considered suitable and sufficient it must consider all significant risks of fire. Where lithium-ion batteries are concerned this should cover handling, storage, use and charging, as appropriate.
Specific risk control measures should be determined through site, task and activity risk assessments, with the handling of and work on batteries clearly changing the risk profile. Considerations include: Segregation of charging and any areas where work on or handling of lithium-ion batteries is undertaken.
Fires involving lithium-ion batteries often burn hotter and for a longer duration than traditional fires, making them more difficult to extinguish and increasing the risk of property damage and injury.
Clear policies and rules should be in place specific to provision, storage, use and charging of equipment containing lithium-ion batteries, these being formally communicated at induction, through regular toolbox talks and on signing-in where visitors and contractors are concerned.
