Popis: The following possible future work is suggested (Phase IIC) to further understand protection requirements for bulk packaged small format Li-ion batteries in rack storage configurations: Determine the overall effectiveness of reduced-scale testing through additional reduced commodity tests utilizing power tool packs and/or possibly including additional small format Li-ion batteries with appreciable amounts of plastics, such as portable computer batteries; Determine the effectiveness of reduced-scale testing through additional reduced commodity tests using hard case bulk packaged prismatic format cells; Determine the effectiveness of reduced-scale testing through additional reduced commodity tests using an internal cell fault scenario; Develop, as possible, both reduced-scale and full-scale testing protocols based on the results of additional reduced commodity tests; Re-evaluate single credible worst-case commodity for testing based on any additional reduced-scale testing conducted; Develop and execute a full-scale testing protocol utilizing water as the extinguishing agent for full-scale testing of the chosen single credible worst case Li-ion battery commodity. Use the testing protocol to evaluate both ceiling only and in-rack protection strategies for various storage heights and arrangements and to include an assessment of sprinkler system and firefighting runoff water impact on the environment, as well as flaming projectiles and any potential re-ignition scenarios; and Make final protection system recommendations and fire service overhaul guidelines.
