What is Thermal Runaway in Lithium-Ion Batteries?
Thermal runaway is a violent chain reaction of exothermic chemical reactions resulting in an uncontrollable increase in system temperature. Now, where does this reaction might unfold? Batteries and energy storage systems, which are integral parts of tech around us, are the main stage for this drama. They sometimes fall victim to thermal runaway, turning a peaceful power source into a potential ...

Major EV Battery Safety Recalls? Electra`s AI Technology Can Help
Electric vehicle recalls have accelerated as the risk of battery thermal runaway due to faults and failures remains a major pain point in the eMobility industry. General Motors recently took a $1.8 billion hit for battery warranty and replacement costs for the Chevrolet Bolt, according to CNBC, and it is not the only major OEM challenged by battery malfunction. While thermal runaway in electric ...

“Sealed Maintenance-Free” Batteries. What a Myth!
The term “Sealed Maintenance-Free,” in my opinion, is a marketing-driven term. In the early 1980’s, when telephone Private Branch Exchanges (PBX’s) were being deployed into customer premises, computer mainframes were migrating out of dedicated computer rooms, and smaller computers were being situated in occupied office space. Consequently, users were demanding that the ...

Hydrogen Detection and Control
How Lead-Acid Batteries Release Hydrogen Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gas when they are being charged. These gasses are produced by the electrolysis of water from the aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. A Vented Lead-Acid (VLA) battery cell, sometimes referred to as a “flooded” or “wet” cell, is open to the atmosphere through a flame-arresting vent, and ...

Monitoring Off-Gasses to Guard Against Thermal Runaway Risk with Li-Ion Batteries
Lithium-Ion Batteries Rechargeable lithium-ion (“li-ion”) batteries (comprised of cells in which lithium ions move from a negative electrode through an electrolyte to a positive electrode during discharge—and the other way around when charging) were first described conceptually in the 1970s. Following initial prototype development in the 1980s, li-ion batteries became ...

Fiber Optic Testing Helps Ensure EV Battery Health and Safety
EVs face unique design challenges in order to be competitive with gasoline-powered vehicles. The root of many of these challenges is in the EV battery pack. Drivers want similar vehicle range per charge when compared to a tank of gas, as well as the convenience they are used to with refilling a tank in just a few minutes. This means battery packs need to be able to store enough energy to go ...
