Are lithium-ion batteries truly a potentially explosive power source? Knowing the different possible ways they can malfunction can help you prevent them.

Worried about EV battery fires? Discover the revolutionary new foam that promises to drastically reduce risks and make ...

A lithium-ion battery sparked a house fire in north St. Cloud, but thankfully, no injuries were reported. Fire officials urge safety when charging these batteries to avoid future incidents.

Lithium-ion batteries are vulnerable to heat and impact, making them prone to accidents when temperatures rise.

Lithium-ion batteries don't play well with heat. If a battery cell starts to overheat, pressure will build up within the cell and open the pressure release port, Battaglia said.

Some properties were evacuated Friday due to a fire at a construction equipment rental business in Northridge. A ...

The researchers studied how electric current created heat flows in a lithium-ion battery cell. The heat flowed opposite to electric current, resulting in a higher temperature on the side where ...

Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire, ... Chief Rezende said the buildup of heat in these batteries that leads to fire is called a thermal runaway. It can also lead to powerful explosions.

The results were presented in “Integrating lithium-ion and thermal batteries with heat pumps for enhanced photovoltaic self-consumption,” published in Applied Energy.
