Are handheld tools a staple in your workplace? If so, the chances are high that they’re powered by Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. While widely used, these batteries require careful handling due to risks like thermal runaway, fires, and explosions. Proper storage and robust protocols are essential to keep everyone safe.

4 Reasons Lithium Battery Fires are More Dangerous

Dangerously Explosive

Lithium-ion batteries can experience thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that leads to fires or explosions, making them difficult to control.

Highly Toxic

Ignition releases hydrogen fluoride fumes, posing both acute and chronic health risks, from respiratory issues to environmental harm.

Difficult to Extinguish

Lithium-ion batteries can self-heat and explode, and may reignite after initial extinguishing attempts.

Gives Little Warning

Enclosed battery construction often hides early signs of failure, causing fast-spreading fires with little forewarning.
