Lithium Ion Battery Fire and Explosion
ion batteries are flammable. Lithium ion batteries in most cases use cobalt oxide, which has a tendency to undergo "thermal runaway". When the material is heated up, it can reach an onset temperature that begins to self-heat and progresses into fire and explosion. The organic electrolytes in many lithium ion batteries are highly flammable when ...
