Abstract | This document aims to provide guidance with regards to the use, storage, transportation and disposal of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries as well as emergency procedures involving such batteries. The first section consists of an overview of various rechargeable and primary lithium based batteries to provide context and highlight differences between these batteries, with the focus of this work being on lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. A basic description of the various form factors available and the metrics typically used to describe battery performance is included. The hazards to the battery’s health and to users from the battery are also discussed.
The five topics of interest (use, storage, transportation, disposal and emergency response to hazards) are addressed individually in their own sections. Each of these sections begins with a discussions of the relevant hazards and causes of failure before discussing best practices and procedures. The document is concluded by a general summary of the various points to consider.
In this work, the term battery is used in a broad sense for convenience and, unless specified otherwise, includes single cells as well as modules and battery packs. |
