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.
Lithium-ion batteries are electro-chemical energy storage devices with a relatively high energy density. Under a variety of scenarios that cause a short circuit, batteries can undergo thermal-runaway where the stored chemical energy is converted to thermal energy. The typical consequence is cell rupture and the release of flammable and toxic gases.
