How to Mitigate Risk in Battery Storage

In today’s modern world, lithium-ion batteries are used in our home, commercial & industrial environments from wrist worn fitness trackers and mobile phones to power tools, forklift trucks and electric vehicles, but it is important to acknowledge the potential fire and storage risks associated with these batteries.

Whilst lithium-ion batteries are generally stable in normal use, they can be sensitive to high temperatures, prone to flammability and be adversely affected by cold temperatures and over charging. Damage to batteries e.g. through dropping or piercing, may lead to short circuit and in extreme cases result in a thermal runaway – a pathway to fire.
