With the emergence of new technology comes new risks. The UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) is enhancing our understanding of battery safety to ensure that you can safely use and enjoy Lithium-ion powered devices.
Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) is the most popular rechargeable chemistry used today. These powered devices can be found in the home and workplace in products too numerous to count.
In recent years, incidents involving fires from various lithium-ion battery-operated products have surged alarmingly, leading to numerous injuries and fatalities.
These fires can spread rapidly, from the first warning signs of smoke or hissing noises, you may have less than one minute to escape a fire.
To address this, FSRI has launched the “Taking C.H.A.R.G.E. of Battery Safety” initiative, aimed at helping you make life-saving changes in your home.
