Safety Storage offers lithium-ion battery stores and cabinets offer 90 minutes of fire protection with secure, lockable doors and self-sealing vents, which handle the highly-flammable vapours that can cause a battery fire to burn out of control. You also have the option to add fire detection systems and fire extinguishers to the cabinets.
Marine class rules: Key design aspects for the fire protection of Li-ion battery spaces. In general, fire detection (smoke/heat) is required, and battery manufacturer requirements are referred to in some of the rules. Of-gas detection is specifically required in most rules.
The most practical protection option is usually an external, fixed firefighting system. A fixed firefighting system does not stop an already occurring thermal runaway sequence within a battery module, but it can prevent fire spread from module to module, or from pack to pack, or to adjacent combustibles within the space.
ESS) are recommended‡, including:Lithium-ion batteries storage rooms and buildings shall be dedicated-use, e. not used for any other purpose.Containers or enclosures sited externally, used for lithium-ion batteries storage, should be non-combustible and positioned at least 3m from other equipment,
For example, an extract of Annex C Fire-Fighting Considerations (Operations) in NFPA 855 states the following in C.5.1 Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Water is considered the preferred agent for suppressing lithium-ion battery fires.
