Webinar Summary
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are renowned for their ability to store large amounts of capacity. Billions of these batteries operate safely every day, however they do come with an unintended consequence: Thermal Runaway. In this session, we will explore the lifecycle of lithium-ion batteries, from their manufacturing processes to optimal storage practices and diverse applications, including smartphones and electric vehicles. We will also discuss Thermal Runaway within a battery and how Energy Storage Systems work. Focus will be placed on on best practices for the safe use, handling, and storage of LIBs.
