Battery Fire Protection allows safe use of battery energy storage systems and industrial power banks wherever they are installed.
Firefighting of a fire involving lithium-ion batteries must be left to the Fire and Rescue Service. Large lithium-ion storage areas will need special consideration around firefighting water run-off.
With the emergence and popularity of lithium-ion batteries as a power source in the last decade, a growing number of concerns over how firesafe the batteries are have arisen.
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.
Avoiding overcharging is one way to reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires. Urban transportation is undergoing a transformative shift toward electrification. As concerns grow in cities around the world about climate change and air quality, electric vehicles have taken center stage.
Familiarity with these unique designs is essential for swift and effective response. Even after extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire, there is a risk of reignition. Firefighters should implement thorough post-fire assessments and continued monitoring to prevent rekindling, including during post-incident transport and placement.
