Description
The aim of this title is to make the learners aware of the properties and potential hazards from lithium-ion batteries, how and why they must be closely monitored, and how lithium-ion battery fires can be prevented.
Lithium-ion batteries need to be charged, discharged, and managed in a very different way to the conventional batteries which crew are familiar with. Failure to carry out proper battery management can lead to exothermic reactions within the batteries, fires, and the release of toxic and flammable gasses.
