Energy Storage: Safety FAQs. Energy storage is a resilience enabling and reliability enhancing technology. Across the country, states are choosing energy storage as the best and most cost-effective way to improve grid resilience and reliability. ACP has compiled a comprehensive list of Battery Energy Storage Safety FAQs for your convenience.
Lithium batteries are generally safe and unlikely to fail, but only so long as there are no defects and the batteries are not damaged. When lithium batteries fail to operate safely or are damaged, they may present a fire and/or explosion hazard. Damage from improper use, storage, or charging may also cause lithium batteries to fail.
