Key battery cell technology advances for the BESS industry
When batteries fail, they can release a significant amount of energy very quickly, which can result in thermal runaway, eventually risking a battery fire or explosion. If the energy density of batteries increases, this could allow even more energy to be released rapidly, escalating the risk of a severe thermal runaway.
