Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
During thermal runaway, lithium-ion batteries release gases such as hydrogen and oxygen, which can accumulate in confined spaces, like battery containers or storage rooms. These gases, when combined with an ignition source (such as an overheated battery cell), can lead to a violent explosion.

A single battery cell (7 x 5 x 2 inches) can store 350 Whr of energy. Unfortunately, these lithium cells can experience thermal runaway which causes them to release very hot flammable, toxic gases. In large storage systems, failure of one lithium cell can cascade to include hundreds of individual cells.
