What happens if a lithium battery is broken?

Broken or cracked cases can allow moisture and oxygen to enter the battery and oxidize the lithium components, causing a heat reaction also known as thermal runaway. This can lead to fires or explosions. Overheating, overcharging and shock from dropping or crushing can also cause heat reactions to occur.

How to treat lithium battery leakage?

Lithium battery leakage treatment method ▲Check the shell of the battery. In many cases, the shell is damaged due to unreasonable battery installation, welding slag in the frame battery box, and bumps caused by the low chassis of the frame.

Can a lithium ion battery catch fire?

Overcharged, overheated and damaged Li-ion batteries have the potential to catch fire because the lithium components of the battery are susceptible to oxidation. The electrolyte in the battery, which is usually composed of lithium salts and organic solvents, is also flammable.

Why does a lithium ion battery leak?

There are many reasons why a lithium-ion battery might start to leak. For example, both poor manufacturing quality and improper using methods will increase the possibility of lithium battery leaking. For lithium battery itself, short circuit is the biggest enemy. The following is detailed introduction of lithium battery leakage analysis.

What causes a lithium ion battery to fail?

The excessive current flow into the lithium-ion cell causes overheating and lithium plating, which leads to battery failure. When the current is in excess, the excessive joules will initiate more heat into the cell, causing overheating. The overheating leads to increased cell temperature hence failure.

What causes pouch lithium battery leakage?

Pouch lithium battery leakage caused by electrochemical reactions are more difficult to detect. Generally, as the use time becomes longer, the pouch lithium battery leakage will gradually become serious. Due to the long latent time of this failure mode, once it occurs, it can easily cause a crisis of customer trust.
