Lithium-ion battery production, maintenance, installation, and transportation are covered by several safety requirements and standards; yet, recurring incidents confirm that the current regulatory framework is insufficient for predicting the most likely reasons for failure. Battery testing and hazard analysis can help. We can help with global expertise in lithium-ion battery safety to help you minimize your exposure to fire, injury, property damage, and litigation.
Lithium-ion batteries are being utilized in more and more applications; from consumer electronics to automobiles, airplanes, and even energy storage systems. Failure can result in both performance and safety concerns such as cell capacity reduction and possible separator defects leading to fires. The possibility of cell failure is difficult to completely prevent, however with proper testing, tools, and expertise we help our clients mitigate and reduce the risk.
ioMosaic understands and employs best-practice techniques, including preliminary or inherent hazard analysis, hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies, and failure modes and effects analyses (FMEA) of single lithium-ion batteries and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Each scenario's impact and frequency are evaluated by our process. We also help you identify safeguards and other mitigation strategies to reduce the risk to your installation following a BHA.

A group of concerned property owners enlisted the help of ioMosaic to provide engineering support in their case against the proposed location of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility. The client needed to demonstrate that the risk posed by locating the facility in close proximity was unacceptable to the surrounding community. Read the case study to learn the advantages of working with ioMosaic for Battery Hazard Analyses (BHA) and litigation support.
An American manufacturer of silicon anode battery technology for lithium-ion batteries was planning a new facility to expand into the automotive market. Silicon anodes offer higher energy density and improved power delivery for electric vehicles and electronics.
The California Energy Commission was directed to assist in the development of clean alternate transportation fuels. As part of this effort, they support the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles operating on hydrogen fuel. In order to be used extensively in the transportation sector, the safety of hydrogen production, storage, and supply needed to be addressed.
Watch this 26 minute video to learn about the consequences of thermal runaway and the thermal instability of lithium-ion batteries. Lessons learned from several battery incidents are included, along with risk mitigation methods to help you prevent an incident.
BESS systems are now increasingly utilized by regional grid operators. With greater production and application of Li-ion BESS, the inherent hazards are more apparent with more frequent use. Read this white paper for an exploration of the mechanics of deflagrations that can occur during a thermal runaway event in a BESS and methods for sizing deflagration vents to protect against such explosions in elongated geometries.
