SECONDARY BATTERIES – LITHIUM RECHARGEABLE SYSTEMS – LITHIUM-ION | Thermal Runaway

The safety characteristics of commercial lithium-ion cells are examined in relation to their use as batteries for various applications such as cellular phones, note-type personal computers, electric vehicles, uninterrupted power supplies, backup power supplies, and so on. The lithium-ion cell safety must be very closely related to thermal runaway of the cells. This article describes the recent status of safety of practical lithium-ion cells, a theoretical approach to an understanding of cell safety, how to evaluate the safety of lithium-ion cells before practical use, and example results of safety tests of lithium-ion cells.
