Lithium-ion batteries, found in many popular consumer products, are under scrutiny again following a massive fire this week in New York City thought to be caused by the battery that powered an electric scooter. At least seven people have been injured in a five-alarm fire in the Bronx which required the attention of 200 firefighters.
In summary, understanding the factors that lead to lithium battery fires and explosions—such as manufacturing defects, mechanical injury, poor storage environment, overcharging, overdischarging, and external short circuits—is crucial for maintaining safety.
When a lithium-ion battery fire breaks out, the damage can be extensive. These fires are not only intense, they are also long-lasting and potentially toxic. What causes these fires? Most electric vehicles humming along Australian roads are packed with lithium-ion batteries.
According to Kerber, the number of lithium-ion battery-based fires is growing with enormous frequency both in the United States and internationally, particularly when it comes to e-bikes and e-scooters, due to an uptick in purchases of these products during the pandemic.
