Important information about battery fires at FinnSec and Safety Fair
On October 6-7, the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Center was filled with rescue and safety professionals. A lot of new technology and service providers were on display during FinnSec and Safety Fair. The fair provided good discussions on safety and its development.
There was a separate exhibition stand regarding battery fires, which provided information on the risks associated with batteries, different battery chemistries and actions to take in the event of battery fires. Lithium-ion battery fires have naturally increased as the number of batteries has increased. Numerous devices in our daily use are powered by batteries. For this reason, it is good that information about the risks associated with these is shared and instructions are given on when it may be necessary to recycle and replace the battery with a new one.
Thermal runaway in battery fires often occurs during charging, for example as a result of mechanical damage, short circuit or overheating. A lithium-ion battery fire progresses quickly and quickly produces dangerous concentrations of, for example, hydrogen fluoride gas. As a result of an aggressive reaction, the fire can also spread to other materials and properties, where a modern battery cabinet can protect against further damage.
