How to solve the fire of lead-acid battery

Are used lead acid batteries a fire risk?

Used Lead Acid Batteries (ULAB) pose a fire risk, particularly if they retain residual charge. To eliminate the fire risk we recommend the following approach to stacking batteries in the BTS Containers. All batteries should be stacked vertically and in the upright position and reasonably compact to prevent any excessive movement during transport.

Can a lithium battery be transported with a lead acid battery?

Both Lithium & Wet Alkaline Batteries are classified as dangerous goods and have different packing, labelling and marking requirements under the ADGC, so their transport with lead acid batteries is not possible. Please note Battery Rescue’s containers are marked for Lead Acid Batteries only (UN Number 2794 & UN Number 2800).

Can a lead acid battery be placed in a BTS container?

Only lead acid batteries can be placed in the BTS Containers. No other battery chemistries can be included. If you are unsure if a battery is a lead acid battery or not, look for the Pb (lead) symbol.

Are battery rescue containers marked for lead acid batteries?

Please note Battery Rescue’s containers are marked for Lead Acid Batteries only (UN Number 2794 & UN Number 2800). Non-Lead Acid Batteries

Can lithium ion batteries be controlled if a fire happens?

Due to lithium-ion batteries generating their own oxygen during thermal runaway, it is worth noting that lithium-ion battery fires or a burning lithium ion battery can be very difficult to control. For this reason, it is worth understanding how lithium-ion fires can be controlled should a fire scenario happen.

What happens if you add other chemistries to a battery?

The inclusion of other battery chemistries can result in a dangerous reaction and fire with the lead acid batteries and their acid electrolyte.
