While there is not a specific OSHA standard for lithium-ion batteries, many of the OSHA general industry standards may apply, as well as the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970). These include, but are not limited to the following standards:
Given the reliance on batteries, the electrified transportation and stationary grid storage sectors are dependent on critical materials; today's lithium-ion batteries include several critical materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite.13 Strategic vulnerabilities in these sources are being recognized.
should be stored separately from rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Cells should be stored in their original containers or installed in equipment. Store the cells in a well-ventilated, dry area. The temperature should be as cool as possible to maximize shelf life. Observe the manufacturers minimum and maximum storage temperatures.
Metallic lithium in a non-rechargeable primary lithium battery is a combustible alkali metal that self-ignites at 325°F and when exposed to water or seawater, reacts exothermically and releases hydrogen, a flammable gas. Lithium batteries are all significantly different from secondary rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
Battery storage is a technology that enables power system operators and utilities to store energy for later use.
