The hydrogen content of the released gases can give rise to vapour cloud explosion risks which have the potential to cause significant damage. TT advocates a range of measures to mitigate the risks. A prudent starting point would be to perform a fire risk assessment, considering the specific hazards presented by lithium-ion batteries.
Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions. There have been two types of explosions; flammable gas explosions due to gases generated in battery thermal runaways, and electrical arc explosions leading to structural failure of battery electrical enclosures.
Lithium-ion battery-powered devices — like cell phones, laptops, toothbrushes, power tools, electric vehicles and scooters — are everywhere. Despite their many advantages, lithium-ion batteries have the potential to overheat, catch fire, and cause explosions.

Fire is not the only danger with lithium-ion batteries. Here''s what risk managers need to know, and how to manage the threats. The devastating consequences of rapidly spreading and often challenging-to-extinguish fires involving lithium-ion batteries have been well-documented in recent months.
A risk assessment was conducted for hydrofluoric acid (HF) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) which potential might leak from lithium-ion batteries. The inhalation no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for HF was 0.75 mg/kg/d. When a lithium-ion battery explodes in a limited space, HF emissions amount to 10–100 ppm. Assuming the worst-case …
Older types of batteries, like the rechargeable lead-acid battery in your car, use a water based electrolyte to move ions between positive and negative terminals. During charging, the water can separate into hydrogen and oxygen, which is an explosive gas mixture. Lithium Ion Battery Failures. Normal use and charging of a rechargeable Lithium ...
