6 FAQs about [The hazards of lithium battery exhaust]

Are lithium-ion battery fires dangerous?

Lithium-ion battery fires generate intense heat and considerable amounts of gas and smoke. Although the emission of toxic gases can be a larger threat than the heat, the knowledge of such emissions is limited.

Do lithium-ion batteries emit HF during a fire?

Our quantitative study of the emission gases from Li-ion battery fires covers a wide range of battery types. We found that commercial lithium-ion batteries can emit considerable amounts of HF during a fire and that the emission rates vary for different types of batteries and SOC levels.

Can lithium-ion batteries cause a vapour cloud explosion?

The hydrogen content of the released gases can give rise to vapour cloud explosion risks which have the potential to cause significant damage. TT advocates a range of measures to mitigate the risks. A prudent starting point would be to perform a fire risk assessment, considering the specific hazards presented by lithium-ion batteries.

Are lithium ion batteries flammable?

The electrolyte in a lithium-ion battery is flammable and generally contains lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) or other Li-salts containing fluorine. In the event of overheating the electrolyte will evaporate and eventually be vented out from the battery cells. The gases may or may not be ignited immediately.

How do you manage a lithium-ion battery hazard?

Specific risk control measures should be determined through site, task and activity risk assessments, with the handling of and work on batteries clearly changing the risk profile. Considerations include: Segregation of charging and any areas where work on or handling of lithium-ion batteries is undertaken.

Do fire extinguishers work on lithium-ion battery fires?

It is essential that all stakeholders including employees, other building occupants and residents are made aware that fire extinguishers may not work effectively on lithium-ion battery fires and that extinguishing the flames can merely change the risk from fire to explosion.
