Lithium-Ion Battery Safety | UL Standards & Engagement
Every day, people rely on rechargeable, lithium-ion batteries to power everything from small devices to electric vehicles, and even their homes. These batteries offer a high power-to-size ratio, but they also carry significant safety risks. Through our standards, we''re working to make lithium-ion batteries safer for your daily life.
Lithium-ion battery fires are a growing public safety concern − …
When lithium-ion batteries are charged too quickly, chemical reactions can produce very sharp lithium needles called dendrites on the battery''s anode – the electrode with a negative charge. Eventually, they penetrate the separator and reach the other electrode, short-circuiting the battery internally.
