19 Jul 2019 Charging and storing lithium batteries safely

The latest asecos brochure 'Lithium batteries – not as harmless as they seem' provides expert knowledge on handling lithium-ion batteries, safety regulations for the medium power class as well as expert opinions from property insurers. Lithium-ion batteries pose an increased risk of fire and bursting, e.g. during charging and discharging or from external heat or energy sources. It is particularly dangerous when a lithium battery releases its stored energy in an uncontrolled manner: The 'thermal runaway' occurs as a chain reaction – the explosive burning of the battery is the result. ION-LINE type 90 safety storage cabinets offer safe active & passive storage of lithium batteries.
