How to Make 18500 battery Safe with Built-in Protection Circuits

In order to make 18500 battery safer in the face of global risks and safety issues in transporting, storing and operating 18500 battery, in 2012 the US safety specifications for nickel-based and lithium-based cells and 18500 battery for portable applications were unified under IEC62133. The most basic safety device in a battery is a fuse that opens at high current. Some fuses open permanently, rendering the battery useless. A positive temperature coefficient (PTC) is a resettable device that creates a high resistance at overcurrent and reverts to a low ON position when conditions normalize. A further layer of protection is a solid-state switch that measures current and voltage and opens the circuit if the values are too high. Lithium-ion protection circuits operate on this on/off basis. All switching devices have a residual resistance that causes a slight increase in overall battery resistance and a subsequent voltage drop. Safety is paramount when using electronic equipment in hazardous areas. Intrinsic safety (IS) ensures harmless operation in areas where an electrical spark could ignite flammable gases or dust (hazardous areas include refineries, chemical plants, grain elevators, and textile mills.) All electronic equipment that enters hazardous areas must be intrinsically safe. This includes two-way radios, mobile phones, laptops, cameras, flashlights, gas detectors, test equipment and medical instruments, even when powered by AA and AAA 18500 battery. Intrinsically safe devices and 18500 battery contain protective circuits to prevent overcurrent, which can cause high temperatures, sparks and explosions. 18500 battery Everyone needs to pay attention to the hazard levels are subdivided into these four categories: 1. Type of hazardous substances present Class I Flammable gases, vapors or liquids in petroleum refineries, utility gas facilities Class II Grain elevators, Combustible dust in coal preparation plants Class III Combustible fibers and flyings in textile plants, wood processing produces sawdust, etc. 2. The possibility of the presence of hazardous substances Part I Hazardous substances can be present in flammable concentrations Part II Hazardous substances are unlikely to be present in flammable concentrations 3. Hazardous substances (groups from A to G) The names of hazardous substances are: acetylene (A), hydrogen (B), ethylene (C), propane, gasoline, etc. (D), metal dust (E), coal dust (F) and grain dust (G). 4. Temperature (from T1 to T6) The explosion hazard of gas or combustible dust is affected by the surface temperature. T1 is hot at 450oC (842oF); T6 is moderate at 85oC (185oF). Other temperatures are in between. Note: Intrinsic safety requirements vary by country. North America has Factory Mutual Research Corporation, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and Canadian Standards Association (CSA); Europe has the ATEX directive; while other countries follow IECEx standards. Many countries recognize the harmonized IEC60079.
