11:00 → 11:40 Fire risks and hazards with Li-ion batteries

Abstract: Li-ion batteries are getting more and more common in many application areas, this includes small batteries such in handheld tools, batteries in Electric vehicles and more lately also for larger applications like stationary storage. Li-ion batteries have many advantages but also some drawbacks in terms of safety. The presentation will give a short introduction to Li-ion batteries and their hazards and then focus on fire safety of them. Safety requirements for different application areas will be brought up.

Speaker: Dr Petra Andersson (RISE/ LU)
