Get StartedIntroduction to Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and ability to recharge quickly.
Their ability to store large amounts of energy in a compact and efficient form has made them the go-to technology for Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). However, this rapid adoption has also uncovered significant safety concerns, particularly fire and explosion hazards.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely regarded as established energy storage devices owing to their high energy density, extended cycling life, and rapid charging capabilities.
While there is not a specific OSHA standard for lithium-ion batteries, many of the OSHA general industry standards may apply, as well as the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970). These include, but are not limited to the following standards:
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have revolutionized the energy storage industry, enabling the integration of renewable energy into the grid, providing backup power for homes and businesses, and enhancing electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
They power devices such as mobile telephones, laptop computers, tablets, cameras, power tools, electric vehicles, and machinery, and are also used in large Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Lithium-ion batteries may present several health and safety hazards during manufacturing, use, emergency response, disposal, and recycling.
