How NFPA 855 could change residential battery-based systems
The introduction of lithium-ion batteries into the residential energy storage space has brought with it a new set of challenges. Faulty or damaged lithium-ion cells can lead to thermal runaway reactions which, like dominos, affect adjacent cells and can result in fire. As the size of these systems increases, so does the risk of igniting combustible off-gasses and
A Look at the NFPA''s Proposed Battery Safety Code
You can expect NFPA 800 to address storage solutions including temperature control, ventilation, and fire suppression systems. It will serve as a vital framework to reduce the number and frequency of lithium-ion battery fires in an overarching effort to make the energy transition as safe as it is transformative. « Cleaning Up Steel & Iron
