Are Li-ion batteries explosion-proof?

Thanks to the Company’s internal R&D and Certification Departments, Miretti Group has successfully developed certified explosion-proof solutions for vehicles powered by lithium iron phosphate (LI-ION) batteries.

Is explosion-proof conversion on forklifts with lithium iron-phosphate batteries safe?

The experience gained in this specific field allows Miretti Group to assert that explosion-proof conversion on forklifts with lithium iron-phosphate batteries is feasible and safe. The positivity towards this issue is also based on work experience conducted specifically on the type of cells and BMS used which become a discriminating factor

What is a lithium phosphate battery explosion-proof protection package?

The main aim was and still is to develop a certified and ergonomic “explosion-proof” protection package for machines with a lithium iron-phosphate battery that allows safe operation in hazardous areas and which, at the same time, meets the specific characteristics of this particular power source.

Are lithium batteries prone to thermal runaway?

Despite the rapid progress in material development and technology for higher-energy-density and safer lithium batteries, current lithium battery technology is still exposed to the risk of thermal runaway, although the probability is relatively low.

Can a Li-ion battery explode?

The Li-Ion battery may be subjected to high risk of explosion if for example it is selected a wrong chemical type for the cell or an improper mechanical construction design and distancing between the cells, thus making the thermal runaway effect more likely to happen.

Can lithium batteries be a power source for forklifts in hazardous areas?

It is always very “open” the discussion table on lithium batteries as a power source for forklifts in hazardous areas. FORKLIFTACTION wanted to talk with a company leader in Explosion Proof Systems for the material handling sector.
