Best Practices for Storage of Lithium-Ion Batteries
J3235_202303
This document aids in mitigating risk for the storage of lithium-ion cells, traction batteries, and battery systems intended for use in automotive-type propulsion systems and similar large format (e.g., stationary, industrial) applications. Nothing precludes other industries and applications from using these recommendations.
Rationale:
With the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in automotive-type applications, a need for recommendations on how to store lithium-ion batteries has been identified. The need results from multiple issues involving battery storage. Issues for such batteries include:
Hazardous risks associated with electrical and chemical energy contained within the batteries,
General lack of existing industry standards and codes for storage,
Regulations that are in development, and
Hazardous events that have occurred in storage facilities.
This document was developed to address those issues and provide corresponding storage recommendations for industry.
