Despite all of the care that goes into the design
of the storage system, fires are still possible. A fire
can release substances contained in the battery
modules.
In the event of a fire in the storage system or its
surroundings:
• Only fire fighters wearing proper protective
clothing (including gloves, masks, and
breathing apparatus) may enter the room with
the burning storage system.
• A fire in the storage system can be
extinguished by conventional agents.
• As a last resort, water may be used to cool the
battery modules that are still intact.
Battery module information
Pertinent information on battery modules
include:
• The battery modules have a rated voltage of
48 VDC and are thus in the range of protective
extra-low voltage (below 60 VDC).
• The battery modules contain no metallic
lithium.
