These batteries power our world because of their high energy density and voltage-per-cell. But they are also prone to spontaneous ignition when damaged. Chief Engineer Charles Macaulay lends his insight to discuss this emerging fire hazard and inform risk professionals on:

• Safe charging, storage, and discarding practices for lithium-ion batteries
• Why lithium-ion batteries are more utilized than alternatives despite fire hazards
• Primary causes of lithium-ion fires and proper emergency response plans
