Lithium Batteries, are they safe?
Not all lithium batteries are the same. Recent headlines have raised concerns about lithium battery fires, but many reports fail to distinguish between different battery chemistries. This blog explores the differences between NMC and LiFePO₄ batteries, the role of Battery Management Systems (BMS), and why battery quality, system design and engineering matter when assessing the safety of battery-powered industrial equipment. Based on guidance from the NFCC, OPSS and insights from Demon’s battery partners.
