As aviation adopts lithium-ion batteries across the supply chain, a rise in on-flight incidents of batteries overheating raises the question: are they safe?
Lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous when not stored correctly, so it’s important to understand the risks involved and what correct storage looks like.
Which lithium-ion battery types are your operations using and how should you be storing them to minimise the risk of a thermal runaway?
Lithium-ion batteries are a popular choice for sites looking to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. However, charging them comes with some risk.
What are the advantages of using lithium-ion batteries compared to other battery cell types and how do they stack up against the disadvantages?
Despite their wide use, the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries - particularly during storage - can be substantial if not properly managed.
Lithium batteries are popular for high energy density & long lifecycle, but the high reactivity of lithium poses a significant safety concern.
How are lithium-ion batteries impacting the environment and will investing in lithium-ion technology help your sustainability initiatives or hinder them?
The more you know about thermal runaway, the better equipped you’ll be to prevent it from ever happening on your site, to your operations.
While Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient and reliable, they are also highly dependent on proper storage conditions.
