DO YOU STORE YOUR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES SAFELY? Definition: A lithium-ion battery works through electrochemical reactions between negative and positive electrodes, with oxidation during discharge and reduction during charging. The unique thing about lithium-ion batteries is that they are rechar- geable , unlike regular lithium batteries. They have a longer lifespan , perform well at low temperatures, and are often used in advanced devices such as electric vehicles and smartphones due to their high energy storage capacity relative to their weight. The risks of lithium - ion batteries The biggest danger of lithium-ion batteries is the risk of 'thermal runaway', a self-amplifying process in which high temperatures lead to a rapid temperature rise, which can cause a fire or explosion. This risk is increased by factors such as defects, overcharging, external damage or excessive heat. Manutan recommends various measures to reduce the risk of thermal runaway: • Safe storage : It is essential to use a cabinet for lithium-ion batteries. Manutan works with safety specia- lists to provide a range of safe storage solutions that meet the EN 14470- 1 standard for fire resistance. • Temperature control : Use thermostats and monitoring systems to monitor battery temperature. • Regular maintenance : UPS systems, known as uninterruptible power supplies, provide uninterrupted power during power outages, protect sensitive equipment and ensure stable operation. It is important to inspect and maintain UPS systems and batteries regularly. • Fire retardants : Apply fire retardants to areas where batteries are stored. • Damage - inducing devices : Implement devices that can detect damage and isolate or disable the battery. Frequently asked questions about lithium batteries How dangerous are lithium batteries? How hot can a lithium battery get? How do you best store a lithium battery? Lithium batteries can be dangerous if damaged or misused, due to risks such as fire or explosion. A lithium battery should not get too hot. In general, this temperature is between 0 and 40°C. Various cabinets are available for the storage of lithium-ion batteries. These cabinets are designed to store batteries safely and protect them from fire and other hazards. Manutan offers a wide choice of professional cabinets for lithium-ion batteries.

How does a fire occur in a lithium battery? How do you extinguish a lithium battery? Can a lithium battery leak? Can you overcharge a lithium battery? Can a lithium battery withstand frost? How long do lithium batteries last? Fire can be caused by internal short circuit, overheating or physical damage. Use a class D fire extinguisher or sand. Do not use water. If damaged, lithium batteries can leak, which is dangerous. Without proper protection, overcharging can occur, which is dangerous. Lithium batteries perform less well in extreme cold and can be damaged by prolonged exposure. Lithium batteries can last several years depending on use and storage. Manutan is happy to help Manutan continues to lead the way by offering products that meet the new standards. By offering up-to-date solutions and providing important information, Manutan helps companies meet current and future safety requirements.
