Abstract

All batteries contain chemical materials which can be made to explode under certain conditions. This report defines applicable explosives terminology and discusses these definitions in terms of explosives, thermal runaway and fires associated with aqueous (Le Clanche, mercury, lead acid, nickel cadmium) and non-aqueous (lithium anode systems) batteries.
