Lithium Battery Storage Container & Energy Storage Systems (ESS)

Recently, hazardous battery materials have caused high-profile and uncontrollable catastrophic fires. The dangers of hazardous battery materials and the risk of electrocution prompted new industry standards for safer lithium-ion battery storage containers. Learn more about the standard safety criteria and how to stay compliant while reducing your risk of lithium battery fire or environmental contamination with battery spill containment.

Who Uses Energy Storage Systems (ESS) with Battery Fire Protection?

Energy storage systems, typically made of lead-acid or lithium-based batteries, provide backup power at hospitals and healthcare facilities, factories, and retail locations. They also regulate and clean grid power for data centers. Finally, energy storage containers offload energy when renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power generation, are unavailable.

Stay Compliant with Energy Storage Systems or Battery Storage Buildings

To help prevent battery fires and ensure workplace safety, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) released NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Containers. It is the first comprehensive collection of criteria for the fire protection of energy storage system (ESS) installations. These standard criteria provide requirements based on:

Technology used in energy storage systems
Setting where the technology is being installed
Size and separation of energy storage system installations
Current fire suppression and control systems

Stay compliant with NFPA 855 standards for energy storage systems and lithium battery spill containment by using fire-rated storage buildings designed to keep property, people, and the environment as safe as possible.
