Changes in temperature, humidity, altitude and vacuum can create a pressure differential within a sealed enclosure, causing the battery casing to swell or contract. This can make it difficult to achieve the required relief pressure in an emergency.
Battery enclosures offer limited surface area and are often installed in confined spaces. Fitting breather vents and rupture discs separately increases costs and takes up more space.
A damaged or malfunctioning cell can quickly destroy an entire system due to a chain reaction (thermal runaway). This can rapidly spread from one battery cell or enclosure to the next, leading to catastrophic explosions, fire, damage and injury.
By-products of thermal runaway may include large amounts of flammable gases. Managing the flames from an outgassing event is an essential safety consideration for battery designers, particularly on board ships and submarines.
Our OE Lion brand offers solutions to these challenges
The high-tech solutions provide fast, reliable and accurate emergency pressure relief, with an optional breather membrane for ongoing pressure equalization.
Combining two pressure safety features into a single device supports battery manufacturers and integrators in designing safer, simpler and more cost-effective li-ion batteries.
In line with current regulations in the USA, EU, and UK, the design of any lithium-ion battery should consider at least the following factors:
