Battery Fires in Reduced O2 Environment • 200 CR123A Manganese Dioxide cells in chamber Air Argon Nitrogen Initial O2: 9% Initial O2: 21% Initial O2: 9% Propagation Time: 187 sec O2 Depletion: 7.25% Max THC: .2237% Max Ave. Chamber Temp. 118.1C Propagation Time: 339 sec O2 Depletion: 3.67% Max THC: .7394% Max Ave. Chamber Temp. 165.5C Propagation Time: 337 sec O2 Depletion: .633% Max THC: .8746% Max Ave. Tree Temp. 37.63C
Summary • Cells without adequate vents can explode. • Heat release, propagation and flammability vary among different chemistries of Lithium-Metal cells. • Propagation of cells is slowed by oxygen depletion with either Argon or Nitrogen • Argon was insufficient to fully prevent the battery fire however.
