Thermal properties;
• effect of heat on batteries
• effect of heat produced by batteries
Well known – temperature exposure,
overcharge / discharge, shorting
Heard details of such safety details, reference to in-house empirical tests, DSC, UL 150C Hot box,
and some ARC data

Safety Issues with Li BatteriesSafety Issues with Li Batteries
The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter has become accepted as a key instrument for assessing the
thermal hazard potential of Li Batteries
Unlike other tests… it is not empirical
•Quantifies the thermal effect
•Gives a ‘worst case’ assessment
•Can test batteries of ‘any size’
•Different labs anywhere can compare data

Data varies with charge / age. Three regions of exothermicity, interface, anode and cathode reactions – but an 18650 will progress to explosion

Reaction Sequence in Li-Ion Battery exothermicity
1st reaction – SEI
2nd reaction – Anode (MCMB)
3rd reaction – cathode (Li Spinel)
Electrolyte – decomposition from 80oC
Electrolyte – very flammable
Lithiated MCMB –air flammable hazard
Delithiated spinel – shock sensitive explosive hazard
Li-Ion 18650 – Battery Safety
Onset of Exothermic Reaction
Overdischarged (2.0V) Onset = 110-120oC
Fully Discharged (2.6V) Onset = 110-120oC
Partially Charged (3.6) Onset = 90-100oC
Fully Charged (4.2V) Onset = 70-90oC
Overcharged (4.8V) Onset = 30-50oC
Overcharged (>5V) Onset = ambient
