Lithium Battery Explosions #carbatterycharger #lithiumbattery

Lithium batteries are generally safe. However, we use millions of lithium batteries in a broad spectrum of consumer products, and malfunctions can occur. A lithium battery can explode or burst into flames due to various reasons, including:

1. Manufacturing defects
2. Use of low-quality materials
3. Product design defects
4. Incorrect assembly of the battery
5. Lack of proper insulation
6. Inadequate ventilation
7. Improper storage
8. Improper charging
9. Exposure to extreme temperatures
10. Physical damage

Simple Guidelines for Using Lithium-ion Batteries
1. A failing Li-ion begins to hiss, bulge, and leak electrolytes.
2. The electrolyte consists of lithium salt in an organic solvent (lithium hexafluorophosphate) and is highly flammable. The burning electrolyte can ignite combustible material in close proximity.
3. Dowse Li-ion fire with water or use a regular fire extinguisher. Only use a Class D fire extinguisher for lithium-metal fires because of the reaction of water with lith
