  1. And now I know how to deal with a #LithiumBattery fire!

    What causes #LithiumIonBattery fires? Why are they so intense? And how should they be fought? An expert explains

    "For standard #lithium-ion battery fires, the sprinkling of fine water mist may be used to suppress the fire. On the other hand, experts recommend using specially-designed #ClassD fire extinguishers for solid-state lithium-metal battery fires – or dry chemical fire extinguishers that are appropriate for electrical fires.

    "These contain substances, such as sodium chloride powder or pressurised argon, that can combat the challenges posed by solid-state batteries. Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, melts to form an oxygen-excluding crust over the fire. Similarly, argon is an inert and non-flammable gas which can help put out fires by suffocating oxygen.

    "That brings us to the aftermath of the fire – and another often-overlooked hazard: #ToxicFumes. When lithium-ion batteries catch fire in a car or at a storage site, they don’t just release smoke; they emit a cocktail of dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride.

    "These fumes can be hazardous to your health, especially when inhaled in significant quantities. This is why these battery fires are a particular concern in confined spaces such as a garage, where noxious gases can accumulate quickly."

  2. PSA from #Fire Research Safety institute about the potential for thermal runaway of unregulated lithium ion batteries that can create explosions. Ebikes appear to be the main concern this holiday season.👇

  3. I know it’s Halloween weekend - but this isn’t the kind of scare I was expecting. I’ve just found this very badly inflated battery at the back of a drawer!! Any ideas as the safest way to dispose of a *very swollen* Lithium Ion cell? #LithiumIonBattery #FireWaitingToHappen #maker #battery #help

  5. 3 years ago I filmed/edited my first YouTube video on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy ⚡️ for batteries, and since then I’ve connected with thousands of students and researchers who have used my video(s) to learn about the technique 💖
    Excited to get back into filming more in 2023 😎
