A Review of Hazards for Lithium – Ion Battery Applied in Tactical Radio

Abstract

This paper presents the review hazards of Lithiumion battery, quality and military safety standard. Nowadays, Lithium – ion battery is a popularly used in general industry and military mission, especially in military tactical radio as renewable energy source because old-fashioned Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries have many disadvantages. But Lithium – ion battery is more suitable for military mission because of lightweight, compact design, high energy density, low of discharge rate and no memory effect. However, Lithium – ion battery is more expensive and risk of accident if improperly handling. The main hazards of Lithium – ion battery are chemical vapor, fire and explosion from processes of manufacturing, using, charging, transportation, storage and disposal. Thus, safety and quality standard must be strictly controlled in order to ensure the safety of user.
