Under non-ordinary operating conditions, lithium batteries may experience an abrupt rise in cell temperature accompanied by the release of flammable gases, which could be easily triggered by the high temperature reached by the battery, causing a fire. This process may be responsible for mechanical effects such as the projection of fragments and the release of toxic gases and vapors.
Safe Storage of Lithium Batteries.
Improper storage of lithium-ion batteries can be the cause of dangerous fires, which can hardly always be prevented due to the electrochemical structure of lithium-ion batteries. In the guide, we will explain all the steps and precautions to follow to prevent overcharging damage or fire.
Safe Transportation of Lithium Batteries
The transport of lithium batteries and the equipment containing them qualifies as transportation of dangerous goods; therefore, it must comply with ADR and other regulations governing the various modes of transport. Batteries depending on the type and whether they are transported alone or contained or packed in equipment are assigned to the following headings:
- A 3090 - LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES
- UN 3091 - METALLIC LITHIUM BATTERIES CONTAINED IN or PACKED WITH APPARATUS.
- UN 3480 - LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
- UN 3481 - LITHIUM IONIC BATTERIES CONTAINED IN or PACKED WITH APPARATUS.
Instructions for proper transportation vary depending on whether the lithium batteries are new, used batteries intended for reuse, or waste.
