The UL Lithium-Ion Batery Incident Reporting encompasses incidents caused by utility-scale, C&I, and residential BESS, as well as EVs, e-mobility, and consumer products. This database focuses exclusively on lithium ion technologies. While recent fires aflicting some of these BESS have garnered significant media atention, the overall rate of incidents has sharply decreased,1 as lessons learned. . Since this series was first issued, there have been at least sixteen further incidents of BESS failures1 around the world that have resulted in fires and damage to property, although there are no reports of significant injuries. 1 Advocates argue that batteries can store surplus power from wind and solar generation and discharge it when needed.
