Definition of High Voltage. In the realm of electricity, "high voltage" is a relative term, its value largely depends on the context. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines high voltage as any voltage over 1000 volts for alternating current (AC) and over 1500 volts for direct current (DC).

Abusing a battery can result in an inoperable Energy Storage System (ESS). It can also lead to overheating, fire, and explosion. Mechanical abuse occurs when the battery is physically compromised, such as when it is crushed, dropped, penetrated, or otherwise distorted to failure by mechanical force.
Physical hazards for batteries include hot parts and moving parts, often discussed in the context of direct harm to human beings exposed to the hazard. Hot surfaces on the battery components can cause burns if it comes into contact with human skin (Agency, 2020).
Despite widely known hazards and safety design of grid-scale battery energy storage systems, there is a lack of established risk management schemes and models as compared to the chemical, aviation, nuclear and the petroleum industry.
When a battery is overheated, the initial cell generates flammable and toxic gasses and can reach a heat high enough to ignite those gasses. This phenomenon can cascade to adjacent cells and progress through the ESS, thus the term “runaway”. Off gassing – The gasses released from battery energy storage systems are highly flammable and toxic.
