The use of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries has become increasingly prevalent in many aspects of modern life and while Li-ion batteries have many advantages, fires caused by discarded Lithium-ion batteries and devices containing them are an increasing problem. A European study suggests that by 2025, 78 million Lithium-ion batteries could be discarded daily worldwide

Lithium-ion battery fires have unique attributes and are not like other types of fire, therefore education and awareness are key; as is assessing the fire risk they present to your organisation, having an action plan in place to mitigate the risk, and being able to manage the fire event should the worst happen.

This session will delve into the challenges associated with these type of fires and you will gain valuable insights into why they happen and how to prevent, or should the worst happen, contain them using the Firechief® Halo™ 8 Step Battery Safety Plan.
