Lithium batteries are small, lightweight batteries, which, under constant discharge-recharge conditions, carry considerable charge and perform well. Everywhere the batteries are found in laptop, computers, cameras, mobile phones, and electric cars. While incidents are uncommon, the ones that happen can be catastrophic, leading to an explosion or fire. To understand why these batteries are catching fire and how to mitigate the possibility of an incident, this article will help you to know all about these things and explain how to take preventive measures to avoid such explosions.
What happens if lithium battery gets wet?
Lithium intensively reacts with water, producing hydroxide of lithium and highly flammable hydrogen. The solution is extremely alkaline which is colourless. The exothermal reactions last longer than the sodium and water reaction in the periodic table, which is immediately below the lithium. Lithium volatility is well known and has been shown to be unreliable on many occasions, as recorded in the scientific press.
When it gets moist with water, there isn't anything that happens. You should not leave them wet for a prolonged period of time. When it is salt water, the water can produce much more energy than fresh water, which will cause the battery to discharge. Sometimes, even though it's stainless steel, the salt water is more likely to corrode the battery casing. You should not leave any batteries for an extended period of time (days) in wet conditions. A little water is not going to hurt so you can keep it dry. Fresh water also conducts enough electricity to gradually discharge the cell.
You should not get wet with a punctured battery. In primary lithium batteries metallic lithium is present. In primary lithium batteries metallic lithium is present. If it comes into contact with water it can produce hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide and there can be a huge explosion.
If you're worried about changing batteries in the rain, do so if light is needed. After that, dry them out as soon as possible. If not, treat batteries like ammo or a weapon and keep them dry. Ideally at a warm, cool spot.
How do you kill a lithium battery fire?
Lithium batteries are designed to produce at low weight, high performance. The battery components are designed to be lightweight, translating into thin cell partitions and a thin outer cover. The partitions or coatings are very weak and can be punctured. If the battery is fried, then there will be a short circuit. This spark will ignite lithium which is highly reactive.
Another option is for the battery to heat to the thermal runaway stage. There, the heat of the contents exerts pressure on the battery, causing potentially an explosion.
When the battery is exposed to hot conditions or the battery or internal part is damaged, the risk of fire or explosion increases. In many ways you can reduce the risk of an accident:
Stop processing at high temperatures.
Don't make the vehicle batteries get warm.
Don't let your laptop cover up with a blanket.
Don't keep your smartphone in a warm pocket.
Stop bringing together all your things containing lithium-ion batteries. If you are traveling, particularly on a plane, all your electronic items will be in one pocket. It is unavoidable because the batteries will be in your carry-on but typically you can have some space between things containing the battery. While having lithium-ion batteries in close proximity does not increase the risk of a fire, the other batteries that catch fire and make the situation worse if there is an accident.
Do not overcharge your battery. These batteries do not suffer as badly from "memory effect" as other forms of rechargeable batteries, So they can be unloaded and reloaded almost back to their initial charge several times. However, if they are fully exhausted before recharging or overloaded, they don't do well. Car chargers are infamous for battery overloads. Using some other charger than the one designed for the battery will increase the risk of damage.
How do you prevent lithium battery fire?
1-Buy your products from a trustworthy retailer that has an outstanding health and safety record. Electronics must be produced to high standards in countries such as the United States and places such as the European Union, in order to be legally marketed. That isn't the case with every country in the world, so be careful if you're making online transactions.
2-Read the instructions which are given. Your electronic system will come with a collection of guidelines that clarify how to use your computer safely. Such guidelines will help you reduce the chance of a life-threatening fire so don't forget them.
3-Using only the charger that came with the unit. If you lose it buy a substitute that the supplier recommends. Just because a charger fits inside your computer doesn't mean it will operate safely.
The key cause of explosions on apps like e-cigarettes is the use of the wrong charger. Make sure it's held upright on a safe, non-combustible surface when charging an e-cigarette.
4-Keep your electronic equipment out of excessive heat and cold. Commonly when left on a radiator or car dashboard on a sunny day, they hit dangerous temperatures.
5-Keep your appliance clean and dry. Keep it out of water, or some other material. Especially with an e-cigarette, if it gets dirty, then dispose of it safely. Clean your e-cigarette with a spirit wipe every week. If you find any signs of damage, such as cracks, on your e-cigarette, safely dispose of it and buy a new battery.
6-Unplug the system when it's fully charged. Turn this off when your system is not in use.
7-Just hold the lithium-ion batteries in a limited package. Hold away metal batteries and other batteries. When kept in a pocket or handbag, lithium-ion batteries may burst and crash into coins or keys.
Modifying your electronics is risky, and the chance of explosion increases greatly. When' modding, even experts will injure themselves. In no way can amateur mod any of their electronic devices.
