Translations:Lithium-ion battery/15/en

Lithium-ion batteries are always sealed and do not, except during an a thermal runaway event or an accident, present a risk for exposure to hazardous chemicals. In the case of electrical hazards, they still carry risks of arc flashes and a potential for shocks with higher voltage systems, but they are also typically safer than lead acid batteries when it comes to electrical hazards as they often have additional safety measures provided by the battery management system, overcurrent protection devices, or an integrated disconnect. These measures work to ensure that the battery does not provide current unless properly connected and activated by the installer.
