FAQ
-
What are the ventilation requirements for battery rooms?
PGS 37-1 requires that battery rooms be equipped with a ventilation system that provides sufficient airflow to dissipate heat and any gas generation. This system must be independent of the building HVAC systems to prevent cross-contamination.
-
Where should the batteries be placed?
Batteries should be placed in a separate room that is adequately ventilated. This room should be fireproof and separated from other parts of the building to prevent the spread of a possible fire.
-
What fire extinguishers are suitable for lithium-ion batteries?
Specific extinguishing agents such as Class D fire extinguishers designed for metal fires can be effective. There are also special aerosols and powders that can stop thermal runaway.
-
What are the fire safety measures for lithium-ion batteries?
Fire safety measures include the use of fire-resistant partitions, automatic extinguishing systems suitable for lithium-ion batteries, and training personnel in emergency procedures. The use of extinguishing agents such as dry chemical powders or special fire extinguishers for lithium fires is…
-
What certifications must battery modules have?
Battery modules must comply with international standards such as IEC 62619 and UN 38.3. This ensures that they have been tested for safety and reliability.
-
What are the key safety measures for lithium-ion batteries according to PGS 37-1?
Key safety measures include the use of fire-resistant materials, adequate ventilation to ensure heat dissipation, and the installation of temperature and smoke detection systems. An emergency plan must also be in place.

Why does Intercel choose LFP in energy storage systems?
The main reasons for choosing LFP in our energy storage systems are about safety, longevity, temperature resistance and environmental impact. Safety: Thanks to the stability of lithium iron phosphate, LFP batteries are less prone to thermal runaway and fire, making…
-
What are important features of LFP batteries?
Composition: LFP batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the cathode material. Safety: They are known for their high thermal and chemical stability, meaning they are less prone to overheating and fire compared to other lithium-ion battery types, such as…
