UL Solutions' new battery containment enclosure and micromobility charging equipment certification programs help address growing concerns and incidents around lithium-ion battery safety risks and thermal runaway events.
UL Solutions (NYSE:ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, today announced its new testing and certification program for battery containment enclosures, including the battery charging or storage cabinets that are becoming more common on city sidewalks and in apartment buildings to address growing concerns around hazards of lithium-ion batteries for e-bikes.
Safety-certified battery containment enclosures are growing in popularity for use with e-bikes and other micromobility products, and are supported by fire departments, including the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), for their ability to contain fire and other hazards associated with thermal runaway. UL Solutions also launched services for micromobility charging equipment that can further help mitigate safety risks.
Battery containment enclosures often resemble cabinets and are designed with safety features to contain battery thermal runaway fires and gases. They can be used to store and charge batteries, such as e-bike or power tool batteries, and help protect people around them if a thermal runaway event or battery fire occurs despite following proper battery maintenance and usage instructions from the manufacturer.
