Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire due to a phenomenon called thermal runaway, which happens when a cell overheats and causes a chain exothermic reaction. Common triggers include: ❗️Overcharging: Excess energy generates heat. ❗️Physical damage: Punctures or crushing can lead to short circuits. ❗️Manufacturing defects: Flaws in production can create vulnerabilities. ❗️External heat sources: High temperatures can initiate overheating. Non-flammable, non-lithium batteries present a better solution. Here’s why: ✅ Enhanced safety: These batteries use materials that are inherently non-flammable, eliminating the risk of thermal runaway. ✅ Stability: With non-flammable electrolytes, the need for advanced cooling and management technology is minimized. ✅ Sustainable: Alternatives to organic solvents used in Li-ion batteries are less toxic and less harmful in their production and use. Embracing these safer battery technologies paves the way for a secure and sustainable energy future. Learn more about what we're doing at www.alsym.com

Developing low-cost, non-flammable, high-performance battery tech for ESS, shipping & EVs—without lithium or cobalt.
Über uns
Alsym™ Energy has developed an innovative, inexpensive, high-performance rechargeable energy storage technology that’s free of lithium and cobalt, and ideal for a range of stationary storage use cases, including utility grids, home storage, microgrids, industrial applications, and more. This will be followed by future products for marine applications and EVs including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and passenger vehicles. Alsym batteries avoid many of the issues that surround lithium-ion batteries and uses no lithium or cobalt. They are non-flammable and non-toxic by design, and are built using readily available materials with robust, uncomplicated supply chains.

What Can A.I. Do for the Battery Industry? Properly harnessed, AI may be the key to accelerating the research and development necessary to replace flammable, toxic lithium-ion batteries with higher performing and sustainable technologies. Our recent blog post takes a closer look at how: https://lnkd.in/eycT-vje #Batterydevelopment #AI #Batteryinnovation #Nonlithium

Round-trip efficiency (RTE) is a measure of the amount of energy put into a system compared to the amount dispatched, expressed as a percentage. Many long-duration energy storage systems have RTEs below 50%, indicating that more than half of the energy put in isn't usable. For this reason, long duration doesn't always mean lower levelized cost of energy (LCOS). A commentary by Alsym CEO Mukesh Chatter for POWER magazine explains more for considerations for LCOS: https://lnkd.in/e_uB3hWt #LCOS #BESS #Batteryperformance #Roundtripefficiency

It seems every other day we’re hearing about a lithium-ion battery that started a fire in a landfill, waste processing plant, or a bin lorry. So what gives? Lithium-ion batteries are inherently flammable but don’t normally go into thermal runaway and combust unless they’re damaged or exposed to high heat. Unfortunately, a li-ion battery may very well undergo all of those external forces in the waste system. Our new post takes a look at the uptick in waste-system battery fires: https://lnkd.in/eem6CMM3 #liionhazards #batterydisposal #batterysafety #thermalrunaway
What’s up with all these landfill battery fires?

UL Solutions has launched a new testing protocol aimed at enhancing the safety of residential battery storage systems. The standards organization developed UL 9540B as an additional standard to address concerns from officials that UL 9540A was not sufficient when it came to large-scale fire testing. Learn more about UL9540B via pv magazine ESS News: https://lnkd.in/ek7H7Jen #energystorage #homestorage #ULtesting #batterysafety
