Consumers’ real-world stop-and-go driving of electric vehicles benefits batteries more than the steady use simulated in almost all laboratory tests of new battery designs, Stanford-SLAC study finds. The way people actually drive and charge their electric vehicles may make batteries last longer than researchers have estimated. | Cube3D
However, despite the glow of opportunity, it is important that the safety risks posed by batteries are effectively managed. Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new.
Where the battery is damaged, it can overheat and catch fire without warning. Batteries should be checked regularly for any signs of damage and any damaged batteries should not be used. The incorrect disposal of batteries – for example, in household waste – can lead to batteries being punctured or crushed.
Every year, many waste batteries are thrown away without treatment, which is damaging to the environment. The commonly used new energy vehicle batteries are lithium cobalt acid battery, lithium iron phosphate (LIP) battery, NiMH battery, and ternary lithium battery.
A variety of heavy metals contained in waste batteries, if not recycled and properly treated, toxic substances will accumulate in the environment, and eventually accumulate in the body is difficult to eliminate, the recycling and utilization of waste batteries, has become important and continue to be pushed over and implemented.
Batteries can be either mobile, like those in electric vehicles, or stationary, like those needed for utility-scale electricity grid storage. As the nation transitions to a clean, renewables-powered electric grid, batteries will need to evolve to handle increased demand and provide improved performance in a sustainable way.
