Lithium-ion batteries and cells must be kept at least 3 m from the exits of the space they are kept in [ 52 ]. If prefabs and containers are used -with a maximum area of 18.6 m 2 - the compartment must have a radiant energy detector system, a 2 h fire tolerance rating, and an automatic fire suppression system [ 52 ].
Potential fire protection strategies include using gaseous fire suppression agents, e.g., FM-200, 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid, and/or Argonite to protect large arrays of Li-ion cells
