For other types of home energy storage systems, such as flow batteries or lead-acid batteries, there may be different fire prevention measures that need to be taken. It is important to work with an experienced installer who can provide guidance on the specific needs of your system.
Nevertheless, the development of LIBs energy storage systems still faces a lot of challenges. When LIBs are subjected to harsh operating conditions such as mechanical abuse (crushing and collision, etc.) [16], electrical abuse (over-charge and over-discharge) [17], and thermal abuse (high local ambient temperature) [18], it is highly
