Lithium-Ion Batteries and Thermal Runway
Most workplaces rely on lithium-ion batteries to power a wide range of devices and equipment. From laptop computers to mobile phones to medical devices, lithium-ion batteries are a much-needed energy supply for a vast range of products. However, if you’re not using, charging or maintaining your lithium-ion batteries correctly, you could be risking thermal runaway.
Put in the simplest of terms, thermal runaway occurs when the battery cell of a lithium-ion battery overheats, resulting in a chemical reaction.
This happens when the temperature within the battery cell exceeds a certain point — that is, the heat generated is greater than the heat that is dispersed. This process will continue with the heat of the battery cell increasing until it causes a chemical reaction.
