Subject: Notes from the Napkin: Battery Safety by Design

View in browser Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are fast becoming the power source of choice among makers of many consumer, automotive, medical and defense products. They are safe during normal use but when abnormalities occur—such as manufacturing defects, excessive temperature elevation, and penetration by outside materials—that battery can become hazardous. In fact, if enough microscopic metal particles converge within the cell, an electrical short can develop. This can lead to thermal runaway and cause the battery to ignite or explode. An innovation designed by Phillips makes it possible for short-circuited lithium-ion batteries to smolder and extinguish, rather than ignite under catastrophic cell failure. Read this case study to see how the Phillips industrial design team … Researched, evaluated and tested lithium ion cell technology and determined how to minimize its combustibility under catastrophic cell failure components and external release buttons to minimize the device's overall footprint. Developed a two-tiered solution consists of a self-sealing casing and fluid that surrounds the lithium-ion battery cells that prevents the initially affected cell from reaching a temperature capable of triggering thermal runaway and subsequent fire and explosion.
