Abstract:

The prevalence of lithium batteries on aircraft is a potential safety hazard because of the risk of thermal runaway - a rapid rise in temperature and pressure, and the release of flammable gases. The goal of this study was to create a framework for potential guidelines for a standardized test method for the classification of a lithium battery's cell hazard due to thermal runaway. Classifying a cell's hazards due to thermal runaway can help determine appropriate mitigation methods for their use and transport.
