Battery Safety Myths

Certification Means Your Battery is Fail Safe

REALITY: Most Lithium-ion batteries sold today actually pass industry-standard certifications. In fact, most of the battery incidents & recalls recorded involve Lithium-ion cells that were labeled as properly certified.

Counterfeit batteries are the cause of many incidents

REALITY: The issue is the inherent chemistry of oxide-based lithium-ion batteries, not necessarily the source manufacturer.

Mixed Oxides Make a Difference

REALITY: Any oxide technology is susceptible to thermal runaway.

Safety Circuitry Prevents Events from Occurring

REALITY: Thermal runaway can occur even when internal devices and safety circuitry are present.
