Safety Characteristics of Non-Lithium Battery Systems. Revision 1
Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the safety characteristics for both primary and secondary non-lithium battery systems. Of particular interest was the behavior of these battery systems when subjected to the electrical and thermal abuse testing procedures (i.e., short circuit, forced overdischarge, and incineration). Also included are the safety/hazard characteristics associated with charging primary batteries and overdischarging secondary batteries. This report also summarizes the manufacture, electrical performance, failure mechanisms, self-discharge, and applications for twenty-two primary and nineteen secondary battery systems.
