As lithium-ion battery use increases, resources available
Members of NAFEM’s Fuels (F) Task Group discussed the increased use of lithium-ion batteries to peak shave or provide consistent power during brownouts or failures. The task group recommended a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) podcast on the proper use and handling of the batteries in commercial and residential applications. Battery Council International (BCI) also has useful online information about lithium-ion batteries.
