Why Lithium-Ion Battery Storage Requires Smits Protect
Lithium-Ion batteries are widely used in devices such as mobile phones, laptops and electric vehicles, but they present a high fire risk if improperly stored. The phenomenon known as thermal runaway can lead to spontaneous ignition, release of toxic gases and rapid fire propagation.
Internal fire containment protects surrounding infrastructure for more than 90 minutes
External fire protection shields batteries from external fire sources
Li-Ion Battery Storage and Maintenance Recommendations
Recommended charge level between 30 percent and 50 percent (maximum 4.1 V, minimum 2.0 V)
Recommended storage temperature between 5°C and 20°C
Recharge to approximately 50 percent at least once every 6 months during long storage periods
Estimated battery life between 2 and 3 years or approximately 300 to 500 charging cycles
Damaged batteries should be removed immediately and leaking liquids should not be touched
