Lithium batteries are widely used in various consumer electronics such as mobile phones, power banks, and new energy vehicles. They are highly anticipated due to their advantages such as high energy density, long lifespan, small size, and light weight. However, because of their highly reactive chemical properties, the processing, storage, and use of lithium metal require very strict environmental conditions.
Even slight carelessness (such as short circuits, high temperatures, compression and impacts, overcharging, etc.) can lead to lithium battery explosions. Therefore, companies involved in the manufacture and storage of lithium-ion batteries must pay special attention and strictly adhere to relevant safety management methods and regulations for lithium batteries during use and storage.
Key Points for Enterprise Management of Lithium Battery Use and Storage (Lithium Battery Use)
1. Enterprises using lithium batteries should strictly control the amount of lithium batteries stored.
2. The production workshop should not store more batteries and cells than the amount used in the current shift, and should properly classify, stack, and store them in designated areas.
3. Emergency battery disposal containers and fire extinguishers should be provided at the site where lithium batteries are used.
4. After the work is completed, the lithium batteries in the workshop should be recycled and stored in a safe area.
5. If the battery usage is too high, it should be stored in a location that meets the safety requirements for lithium battery storage.
Lithium battery storage
1. Battery and cell storage warehouses should be set up independently, and the storage areas should be marked with conspicuous "No Smoking" signs. Combustible and flammable materials are strictly prohibited from being piled up around them.
2. The temperature of the battery and cell warehouse should be controlled within the range of 20±5℃, with a maximum of 30℃, and the relative humidity should not exceed 75%. The warehouse should be kept clean, dry, and well-ventilated, and no other items should be stored there.
3. Battery and cell warehouses should be equipped with video surveillance and smoke and heat alarm devices, and alarm signals should be transmitted to a manned location 24 hours a day.
4. Battery and cell warehouses should be equipped with independent emergency ventilation systems that are connected to external air. These emergency ventilation systems should be interlocked with smoke and heat detectors.
5. Batteries and cells should be neatly arranged and not stacked too high. Storage facilities should be made of non-combustible materials and anti-static measures should be taken.
Precautions for charging electric bicycles
Depending on the battery capacity, it can generally be fully charged in 8-10 hours.
2. Fires are most likely to occur at night and in the early morning, so charge your devices during the day whenever possible and have someone supervise the process. If the indicator light on the charger changes from red to green, unplug the charger immediately.
3. The charging environment must be well-ventilated, and the optimal ambient temperature is 25°C. Therefore, when charging, it is best to place the battery and charger in a well-ventilated and temperature-controlled environment, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or rain when storing the vehicle.
4. Keep away from flammable and explosive materials. When charging an electric vehicle, carefully check whether there are any flammable or explosive materials piled up nearby to prevent the electric vehicle from igniting nearby items and causing a larger fire if it catches fire.
5. Do not park electric vehicles in stairwells or block fire truck access. Park them in the community garage. If you need to charge them, charge them in designated areas. Do not illegally connect or extend electrical wires for charging.
