Lithium-ion battery fire hazards are associated with the high energy densities coupled with the flammable organic electrolyte. This creates new challenges for use, storage, and handling.
However, there are risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, and firefighters must be aware of the challenges they present and the measures needed to mitigate these dangers when tackling incidents involving these devices. Overcharging and overheating: Overcharging a lithium-ion battery beyond its designed capacity can lead to overheating.
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).
Lithium-ion batteries contain volatile electrolytes, and when exposed to high temperatures or physical damage, they can release flammable gases. Batteries can be ejected from a battery pack or casing during an incident thereby spreading the fire or creating a cascading incident with secondary ignitions/fire origins.
Even after extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire, there is a risk of reignition. This is the chain reaction of uncontrolled heating can lead to fire or explosion. Signs of damage or thermal runaway include: Mechanical damage such as cracking (from abuse or dropping/collision). Bulging. Popping/hissing. Visible gases venting. Rising temperature.
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
