Lithium-ion battery technology has become a standard solution in this application due to its technical performance. However, its unique fire hazard is a concern in the industry, increasing the need for dedicated lithium-ion battery fire suppression solutions.
Headlines abound surrounding the fire risk of lithium-ion batteries. The first notable instance were Samsung phones that would overheat and burst into flames. One inopportune combustion occurred on a plane midflight, resulting in an emergency runway landing and sending the media into a frenzy. Samsung phones were merely the starting point.
Fires involving lithium-ion batteries are unique because of the duration they burn, as such they need fire protection that can continuously supply water to keep the fire from spreading. Jeff explained that a common practice is to contain ESS systems in enclosures similar to shipping containers so they are isolated.
For example, an extract of Annex C Fire-Fighting Considerations (Operations) in NFPA 855 states the following in C.5.1 Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Water is considered the preferred agent for suppressing lithium-ion battery fires.
When they reach thermal runaway, lithium-ion battery fires can burn for hours or even days. One fire department learned this lesson first-hand after it took four hours and 30,000 gallons of water to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire. What is Peak Shaving? The bulk of the power grid is still served by coal and other fossil fuels.
Marine class rules: Key design aspects for the fire protection of Li-ion battery spaces. In general, fire detection (smoke/heat) is required, and battery manufacturer requirements are referred to in some of the rules. Of-gas detection is specifically required in most rules.

When a cell of a lithium battery overheats, the whole battery catches fire eventually; once a lithium battery is on fire, it is very hard to put out. Lithium-ion batteries react fiercely to water; it can take hours, maybe even days to put out the battery with just water. In the meantime, dangerous toxic gasses from the battery can cause health problems to people near the fire.
