Fixed lithium battery compartment

Do battery compartment design recommendations niinimize equipment damage and injury?

Battery compartment design recommendations to niinimize equipment damage and injury as a result of violent ventings that may occur when the batteries are installed in equipment are addressed in detail.

How many lisü2 batteries can be used in a compartment?

For compartments containing multiple LiSÜ2 batteries, only one dummy battery will be used for distribution of gases. The remaining batteries will be actual solid (empty) battery cases or solid structures which will not allow any gas to enter into them during testing.

Can a lis02 battery be used in a plastic battery compartment?

For example, the use of two LiSCh batteries in one plastic battery compartment requires 8 separate tests.) This Technical Bulletin was prepared to provide the designers of C-E systems utilizing LiS02 batteries with the necessary guidelines to design and test battery compartments that will minimize equipment damage and injury.

Can a battery compartment handle a lithium explosion?

To design the battery compartment to safely handle lithium explosions would make the equipment too heavy to carry. Additionally, battery explosions are rare and, to date, have only occurred from charging such as when external power and charging circuitry are not properly implemented.

Do high-capacity batteries need a compartment?

High-capacity batteries require a compartment that satisfies the condition needed for the best operation and battery lifetime utilization. Batteries compartment design recommendations are not directly available to engineers. Few recommendations are scattered in fires, building codes, and IEEE recommended practices.

How should lithium ion batteries be handled?

8.2 Lithium-ion batteries should be safely handled, and this includes but is not limited to, never throwing batteries in a fire or exposing to high temperatures, not exposing batteries to strong oxidisers, not exposing batteries to mechanical shock and puncture from sharp objects and never disassembling, modifying or deforming batteries.
