🔋 Battery Breakdown Report: What You Need to Know About Lithium Battery Safety
Lithium batteries power so much of modern life, from our phones and e-bikes to kids’ toys and home gadgets. But while they’re incredibly useful, they can also pose serious safety risks if not handled correctly.
A new report from Electrical Safety First, Battery Breakdown: Exploding the Myths, takes a deep dive into this growing issue. You can download it for free here
From Electrical Safety First:
"The primary risk associated with lithium-ion batteries is thermal runaway. Battery safety and stability depend on maintaining internal temperatures within specific limits. Poor quality and substandard components, flawed design, physical abuse and improper charging or discharging can all cause a battery to become thermally unstable and can lead to catastrophic failure. Even if a fire is extinguished, it is common for the fire to start again, highlighting the dynamic nature of lithium-ion battery fires.
Battery breakdown is a campaign that looks into the cause of these dangerous fires and provides recommendations for how safety can be improved."
