The mechanism of fire-extinguishing agent is mainly divided into isolation, smothering, cooling and chemical suppression. However, the fire triangle of battery is difficult to destroy, as the three elements of fire triangle can be provided by the battery itself. In addition, LIB fire is a complex fire with the characteristics discussed above.
Finally, when a battery fire is extinguished a significant fire hazard may still remain as batteries involved in, and affected by the fire, are likely to be hot and still pose the potential to vent combustible and toxic gases and have the potential to reignite.
During the release of the extinguishing agent, the surface temperature of the battery may decrease. While if the cooling is insufficient and the internal temperature of the battery is still high after the application of fire-extinguishing agent, the surface temperature of the battery will rebound under the effect of the temperature gradient.
No hazards occur during the normal operation of a lead acid battery as it is described in the instructions for use that are provided with the battery. Lead-acid batteries have three significant characteristics: They contain an electrolyte which contains dilute sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid may cause severe chemical burns.
Lead and its compounds used in a lead acid battery may cause damage to the blood, nerves and kidneys when ingested. The lead contained in the active material is classified as toxic for reproduction. 12. Ecological Information This information is of relevance if the battery is broken and the ingredients are released to the environment.
Evidence has shown that the key to successful extinguishing of a lithium-ion batery fire is suppressing/extinguishing the fire and then cooling the adjacent cells that make up the batery pack/module.
