A lithium battery explosion at a military base recently destroyed $70,000 of batteries. Smoke emitted while charging a small drone lithium battery set off a water sprinkler system. Unfortunately, that set off a different reaction, and the batteries exploded. These fires burn extremely hot and can reignite hours, days, or even weeks after an event.
Never compromise convenience for personnel or operational safety, especially when the mission must not fail. Intermodal shipping containers (aka ISO containers or Conex boxes) for hazmat storage do not qualify as a compliant storage solution. When storing chemicals, the military requires EPA and NFPA compliance. Storing and charging of ithium batteries have no current direct code regulations but storage and charging strategies for them are being scrutinized for their inherent dangers. We have built many lithium battery buildings for military locations like yours with the features you need. Let us share what we know for the fire and life safety of this increasingly crucial source.
New equipment options come with new hazards that require unique safety practices. Military bases cannot afford injuries and the loss of mission-critical equipment. Comms, robots, drones, vehicles, and more are utilizing the ease of rechargeable lithium batteries to make missions safer for our troops.
