Batteries produced with LiCoOBatteries produced with LiCoO22
while providing higher capacity, – are more reactive and – Have have poorer thermal stability
Susceptible to thermal runaway– If abused – or overcharged
high temperatures (>130 deg C)At high temps generates O2
– Reactw with organic electrolyte– EXOTHERMIC reaction = FIRE !!

Simple Guidelines for Using Lithium-ion Simple Guidelines for Using Lithium-ion BatteriesBatteries
Lithium-ion batteries contain little lithium metal and in case of a fire they can be dowsed with water.
If the fire of a burning lithium-ion battery cannot be extinguished, allow the pack to burn out in a controlled and safe way.
Be aware of cell propagation as each cell might be consumed on its own time table when hot. Place a seemingly burned-out pack outside for a time.
goal with the water is to drop the temp of the surrounding batteries so they don’t overheat and vent.

Only lithium-metal batteries require a Only lithium-metal batteries require a Class D extinguisher.Class D extinguisher.
If a Class D extinguisher is not available to douse a lithium-metal fire, only pour water to prevent the fire from spreading as water interacts with lithium.
For best results dowsing a Li-ion fire, use a foam extinguisher, CO2, ABC dry chemical, powdered graphite, copper powder or soda (sodium carbonate) as you would extinguish other combustible fires.
