13、rce in energy transition considering the advantages of high energy density,1 long lifecycles,and easy deployment of intelli-gent technologies.Lithium batteries are widely used,from small-sized electronic devices to large-scale energy storage systems(ESSs).However,as lithium batteries have been exten
14、sively used,so safety issues have arisen and accidents have occurred frequently,causing severe losses.While lithium batteries are consid-ered safe in most cases,issues such as short circuits and leakage still occur due to improper materials,inap-propriate design or defective manufacturing.These defe
15、cts,together with external environment factors,have caused fires or explosions,and have posed a serious threat to life and property.In recent years,lithium batteries have been widely used as backup power supplies in telecom sites to mitigate unexpected power outages and ensure the continuity of tele
16、com services.As critical infrastructure for infor-mation transmission,telecom sites must operate reliably to ensure environmental safety,economic develop-ment and social stability.Consequently,lithium battery safety is a key concern,as any minor faults may cause severe consequences.To maintain netwo
17、rk reliability and stability,robust safety and performance standards must be implemented for lithium batteries in telecom applications.Facing this challenge,the International Telecommunication Union(ITU),as a leading international standards body in the telecom industry,always stands at the forefront
18、 of technological advancements,closely monitor-ing and analysing emerging issues in lithium battery safety,and studies them in depth.To cope with the safety risks of lithium batteries in telecom sites,ITU conducts extensive research,has strengthened the formulation and amendment of lithium battery s
19、afety standards.ITU also collaborates with its members to propose the concept of“high-quality lithium battery”to lead the industry toward higher safety,reliability and efficiency through a series of scientific and rigorous standards and specifications.To achieve higher levels of safety and reliabili
20、ty,and an a more efficient network,it is necessary to design,manufacture and use a“high-quality lithium battery”.Not only does this require excellent performance parameters for the battery,it also emphasizes the end-to-end battery safety features,including high-quality design(such as the intrinsic s
21、afety of cells),electri-cal,thermal and mechanical protection,high-quality testing,and high-quality production and manufactur-ing.This white paper provides an overview for lithium batteries focusing more on lithium iron phosphate(LFP)technology application in the telecom industry,and contributes to
22、ensuring safety across the entire lithium battery supply chain.Focused on the theme of“building a high-quality and reliable battery infrastructure for telecom networks”,this white paper discusses the safety of lithium batteries in telecom sites,analyses the terminology of“high-quality lithium batter

32、gies,the importance and reliability requirements of these batteries are increasing.In addition,as telecom sites are gradually transforming into new service platforms such as virtual power plants(VPPs)to provide diverse services,higher requirements are posed on the safety of telecom sites and the rel
33、iability of energy storage systems(ESSs).The industry is continuously pursuing technological innovation and optimization of operation and maintenance(O&M)to meet increasingly complex and dynamic telecom demands.1.2 Comparison of battery types at telecom sitesThere are various types of batteries for
34、telecom sites,including the lead-acid battery and lithium-ion battery.These types of batteries may differ in energy density,charge and discharge efficiency,as well as service life.Figure 1 Battery business panorama for telecom sitesFigure 2 Lead-acid battery and lithium-ion batteryWhite Paper on Lit

40、sitesIn addition,there are multiple types of lithium-ion battery,including the lithium iron phosphate(LFP),lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide(NCM),lithium cobalt oxide(LCO)and lithium manganese oxide(LMO).Among these,NCM and LFP are the most widely used in the market.Their major differences betwe
41、en NCM and LFP are as follows.Featuring excellent performance,comprehensive capability and a high level of safety,LFP batteries are widely used across various sectors,while NCM batteries are mainly used in EVs.In the 5G era,telecom sites consume a large amount of energy but tend to take up very litt
42、le space;therefore,they have high requirements for energy density,charge and discharge efficiency,and intelligent control.In addition,telecom sites require extremely high standards of safety and reliability.Consequently,in actual applications,apart from some traditional base stations and sites with
43、low reliability requirements,LFP batter-ies are increasingly widely used in 5G sites.Higher energy density Better low-temperature performance Wider range for charging and discharging power values Higher safety Longer battery cycles Lower purchase costs Higher purchase costs Higher safety management

46、0Data source:Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions,IEA,2024.052 In recent years,driven by the development of the electric vehicle(EV)industry,the global battery industry has experienced rapid growth.According to the report by the International Energy Agency(IEA),global battery production reached a
47、 new record in 2023,with total output hitting 800 GWh,marking a 45%increase compared to 2022.Progress on electromobility and renewable power generation through to 2030 is set to give a major boost to the battery pack market,driving global battery demand to exceed 3.8 TWh.Under the Nearly Zero Emissi
48、ons(NZE)scenario,the global demand for lithium batteries alone is expected to surpass 6 TWh by 2030.The market size is anticipated to grow from$1.2 trillion in 2023 to$3.3 trillion by 2030,and under the NZE scenario,it could rise further to nearly$5 trillion.The expansion of lithium battery market h
49、as made their prices more affordable and highlighted their perfor-mance advantages,further driving the rapid growth of the global telecom lithium battery market.According to publicly available data,top-tier operators in Europe,the Middle East,and China are increasingly adopting lithium batteries for
50、 energy storage in their new sites.While specific market data for telecom lithium battery installations is limited,forecasts of the global market share for telecom lithium batteries will continued growth.1.3 Capacity and growth trend of lithium batteries at telecom sites 2 IEA:Batteries and Secure E

52、 Sites07Lithium batteries are widely used and have become mainstream in energy storage.However,safety incidents involving lithium batteries have occurred frequently,and continue to raise social concerns.From the explo-sion of smartphones,the spontaneous combustion of EVs,to the fires at ESS plants,e
53、ach incident has led to huge property losses and even casualties,which has attracted widespread attention worldwide.For example,in 2022,a lithium battery fire broke out in the data center of South Koreas SK Group,causing a large area of Internet breakdown across the country;In 2023,A data center in
54、France operated by Maxnod has suffered a devastating fire,bringing the French facility offline and severely damaging infrastructure.In response,governments and international organizations have developed and implemented various policies,regulations and standards to strengthen the safety supervision o
55、f lithium batteries and ensure the safety application of lithium batteries in various application scenarios.For example,the European Union(EU)has implemented its rigorous“Regulation(EU)2023/1542”,requiring battery manufacturers to pass stringent safety tests.The UL has published the UL 9540“Standard
56、 for safety for Energy Storage Systems and Equip-ment”,which specifies safety requirements for the design,installation and operation of ESS plants installed in USA.2.1 Lack of specific safety standards for lithium batteries at telecom sites where low-quality lithium batteries are widely foundAlthoug
57、h the need for lithium battery safety is a global concern,there has been scant attention with regard to its applications in telecom sites.As data hubs of the information society,many telecom sites use lithium batteries as backup power supplies.As show in section following,there are standards and reg
58、ulations applica-ble to lithium battery.However,there are a lack of standards for lithium battery used in telecom sites.Additionally,there is a lack of stringent supervision of battery during its operation phase.Compared to EVs and large-scale ESSs,the safety problems of lithium batteries are less o
59、vert but also more likely to be critical.Once an accident occurs,communications will be interrupted,affecting social operations and posing serious threats to the surrounding environment.White Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites082.2 Complicated application environments expose safety risks o
60、f low-quality cells2.2.1 Complex application scenarios of lithium batteries at telecom sites require high reliability Lithium battery system structureThe Lithium Battery System is an energy storage module,also called a Lithium Battery Pack.It consists of lithium battery cells,a battery management sy
61、stem(BMS),mechanical enclosure for electrical protection,and other auxiliary facilities.The lithium battery cells are the core component of the Lithium Battery System.It consists of multiple cells connected in series and parallel.Energy is stored and discharged through conversion between electric en
62、ergy and chemical energy.BMS is a general term for a circuit system that ensures healthy operation of cells and an entire battery system.The BMS collects parameters such as the total voltage of the lithium battery system,cell voltage,charge/discharge current,and temperature,detects the charge/discha
63、rge process of lithium batteries and provides effective protection and alarm functions.Figure 6 Example of the lithium battery structure for telecom sitesCellPackBMSWhite Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites09 Complex Application ScenariosCompared to a utility-scale ESS,a Lithium Battery Sys
64、tem is used in a more variable and harsher telecom site.Telecom sites are usually distributed in remote areas or along urban edges,where they face multiple chal-lenges such as mechanical shocks,biological intrusion,water intrusion,condensation and overtemperature.These environmental factors are impo
65、rtant causes of lithium battery accidents.After low-quality lithium batteries have run for one to two years under these harsh conditions,they are prone to lithium plating,bulges,deformation,leakage,corrosion and short circuits,which may lead to more serious consequences such as fire and explosion,an
66、d may threaten the safety and stability of telecom networks.Figure 7 Frequent quality accidents after one to two years of running of low-quality cellsCell bulgingCell leakageCell spontaneous combustion/explosionElectro-cell corrosionAnt/Animal invasionCarbonized bulge2.2.2 Low-quality lithium batter
67、ies are the key to frequent safety accidentsThe lack of unified lithium battery safety standards(especially in the fire protection and thermal runaway)in the telecom industry allows the entrance of lithium batteries into telecom markets that do not pass a high-reliability test or do not have a super
68、vised production;this increases the safety risks of lithium batteries.The quality of lithium batteries is reduced in order to lower costs;some substandard cells are used,and even repurposed retired batteries from vehicles are utilized as raw materials for new cell production without any strict contr
69、ol of the cells conditions.Although the costs are reduced,these batteries cannot support long-term,stable running of telecom sites as backup power due to quality defects or safety risks.As a result,safety accidents are prone to occur.1.Improper BMS designAs the“brain”of lithium batteries,the BMS is
70、designed to ensure the safety and lifespan of the battery system.However,the current BMS in the industry still has limitations,including low indicator detection precision,poor heat dissipation performance and insufficient electrical protection design,and cannot accurately ensure the cells health.In
71、practical applications,if issues such as partial carbonization due to overtemperature and multiple electrical faults are not handled in a timely manner,the service life of lithium batteries will be shortened,and incidents such as short circuits or thermal runaway would be more likely to occur.2.3 Ma
72、nufacturing high-quality and safe lithium batteries Quality must not be compromised to reduce costs.Although some low-quality lithium batteries cost relatively little,the money saved during production will be paid during application.In practice,low-quality lithium batteries cannot meet the requireme
73、nts for the long-term stable running of telecom sites.To ensure site safety,O&M personnel on the application side have to visit sites frequently to locate and rectify faults,so increasing the O&M costs of carriers.In addition,battery faults cause network interruptions,decrease the site utilization r
74、ate,and even affect social and economic activities,bringing immeasurable service losses,regulatory penalties,and even goodwill losses to mobile network operators.Manufacturing high-quality lithium batteries is the only way to eliminate safety risks of lithium batteries at telecom sites.The telecom i
75、ndustry shall strengthen the supervision and control over the quali-ty of lithium batteries and promote the development of dedicated safety standards and technical specifica-tions.In addition,vendors shall be motivated to increase R&D investment,improve the cell quality and BMS design level,enhance
76、the battery pack safety protection design and improve the manufacturing process.High-quality lithium batteries provide safe and reliable backup power for telecom sites and ensure the stable operation of telecom networks.2.Insufficient safety protection for battery packsAs the physical support and pr
77、otection barrier of the battery system,battery packs require high-quality design and manufacturing.As lithium batteries are designed to last for a long time,cells may experience bulging over time.During transportation and operation,batteries are inevitably exposed to external shocks,drops,moisture,c
78、ondensation,and biological intrusion.Currently,lithium battery packs in the industry often suffer from issues such as poor sealing,insufficient mechanical strength,and poor safety protection.Therefore,they can hardly resist internal stress and external environmental influence,lead-ing to frequent ma
79、lfunctions and,in severe cases,fire or explosion hazards.3.Defective manufacturingDue to the lack of effective supervision mechanisms and laws and regulations,lithium battery manufac-turing defects occur frequently.For example,screws are not tightened,foreign metal matter remains,and cables are in p
80、oor contact.These defects may cause battery fires and explosions.White Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites10White Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites1103Using high-quality safe lithiumbatteries to build a robustnetwork infrastructureWhite Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Site
81、s12Figure 8 End-to-end high-quality and safety systemHigh-quality lithium batteries are typically defined as those that are safe,reliable,have superior perfor-mance,and offer a long lifespan.Superior performance:This usually manifests as high energy density and high-rate charge/discharge capabili-ty
82、,meaning they can store more power and charge/discharge more quickly and stably given the same volume and weight.Long lifespan:This means that in practical applications,the lithium batteries can maintain a high level of performance even after numerous charge and discharge cycles.Safety and reliabili
83、ty:This entails adhering to safety standards across the entire chain of design,materials sourcing,manufacturing,storage,transportation,and delivery of lithium batteries.A comprehensive safety protection mechanism is employed to prevent risks such as leakage,fire,explosion,overtemperature and electri
84、c shock.Selecting cell materials,designing mechanical architecture,electrical architecture,and thermal management systems,ensuring quality control during production,and detecting defective cells are all interrelated and essential components in creating high-quality safe lithium batteries.3.1 Definit

86、 policies3.2 Design and material selection for safety:design,key of high-quality lithium batteriesWhite Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites141.Positive electrode materialThere are four main types of positive electrode materials available:lithium iron phosphate,lithium nickel-co-balt-mangane
87、se oxide,lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide.Among these,lithium iron phos-phate material is renowned for its high thermal stability,with a thermal decomposition temperature exceed-ing 300C.Even upon decomposition,it does not generate oxygen,making it safer.Lithium iron phosphate batter
88、ies are less prone to thermal runaway even if damaged or improperly charged,and they have a longer cycle life.It is advised to use positive electrodes made of high-end lithium iron phosphate for high-quality lithium batteries as also required in ITU-T standard,Recommendation ITU-T L.1210.32.Negative
89、 electrode materialFor negative electrode materials,options include artificial graphite,natural graphite,LTO and silicon-based anodes.Artificial graphite is preferred for its longer cycle life,better charge/discharge capabilities,higher tolerance to high/low temperature environments,and overall stab
90、ility.3.ElectrolyteElectrolyte is a crucial component in lithium batteries that significantly impacts their safety.If improperly selected,issues such as lithium plating and gas-induced bulges may occur.Lithium plating can cause internal short circuits in a battery,rapidly increasing the cell tempera
91、ture.The expanded flammable gases function as fuel,and when mixed with oxygen,create the necessary conditions for combustion.High-quality lithium batteries should use highly safe and reliable electrolyte formulations to enhance the activity of Li+ions,reduce side reactions,and prevent safety hazards
92、 such as lithium plating and gas-induced bulges.This helps ensure that the lithium batteries operate stably and efficiently during charge/discharge cycles,thus extending the batteries lifespan and preventing fire accidents.3.2.1 Designing high-quality battery cells as the foundation for safe lithium
93、 batteriesA lithium battery cell consists of four key materials:positive electrode material,negative electrode material,separator,and electrolyte,along with the enclosure and terminals.Each part significantly impacts the quality of the lithium battery.Figure 10 Thermal runaway development process3 R
94、ecommendation ITU-T L.1210(2019),)Sustainable power-feeding solutions for 5G networks.White Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites15Figure 11 Principle of lithium plating of a cell4.SeparatorThe separator is an insulating medium in lithium batteries that prevents short circuits between the pos
95、itive and negative electrodes.It is usually made of polymer materials such as polyethylene(PE)or polypropylene(PP).These polymer materials have poor heat resistance,with melting points generally below 200C and shrinkage temperatures typically ranging from 60C to 160C.To improve heat resistance,engin
96、eers have developed composite separators by coating the base film with more heat-resistant materials such as ceramic powder or fluoroplastic,enhancing the separators weather resistance.5.Structure designBesides the four key materials,the structural design of the batteries and their materials are equ
97、ally import-ant.Structurally,lithium battery cells can be prismatic,cylindrical or pouch-shaped.Prismatic and cylindrical cells typically use materials such as aluminium alloy or stainless steel for the enclosure,offering high struc-tural strength to effectively resist external impacts and pressure,
98、thus preventing a short circuit caused by leakage or polarizer damage.The electrolyte is toxic and highly corrosive;leakage can corrode equipment and cause electrolyte shortage inside the battery,leading to fire or explosion.Moreover,cylindrical batteries have slightly lower energy density and compl
99、ex grouping,resulting in them being used mainly in consumer electronics and in the transportation sector at present.High-quality cells should use good raw materials and comprehensive safety designs to prevent safety hazards and avoid fire/explosion accidents.Metallic lithium accumulate at the negati

101、s163.Thermal management designElectronic components generate a certain amount of heat during operation,raising the temperature of the BMS.Research shows that the lifespan of electronic components shortens as temperature increases.In operating temperature range,according to Arrhenius equation,for eve
102、ry 10C rise in temperature,the lifespan of electronic components is about halved.Therefore,efficient heat dissipation design is crucial.Currently,the maximum temperature rise during normal use for most industry lithium batteries BMS is between 70C and 100C,while high-quality BMS can control the maxi
103、mum temperature rise within 50C to 65C.Additionally,good flame retardant design is equally important.The flame retardancy of BMS compo-nents shall meet the UL94-V0 standard.These designs effectively ensure that the BMS maintains stable performance during long-term,high-load operation,reducing the ri
104、sk of thermal runaway.3.2.2 Designing high-quality BMS is an important means to ensure battery safetyThe core task of a BMS is to monitor and manage various operational parameters of the batteries,ensuring the safe,stable and efficient operation of the battery system.The main components of the BMS i
105、nclude the battery management unit(BMU)and the battery control unit(BCU).The BMU is responsible for collecting and preliminarily processing basic parameters such as the voltage,current and temperature of the entire battery and individual cells,providing data support for the BMS,and handling internal
106、 and external commu-nications,fault analysis,and more.Based on the data provided by the BMU,the BCU executes the battery control policies,including charge/discharge management,balancing management,cell state of health(SoH)prediction,and electrical hazard protection.Figure 12 Common failure factors o
107、f the BMS1.High-quality materialsThe BMS integrates various electronic components such as chips,metal-oxide-semiconductor field-ef-fect transistors(MOSFET transistors),passive components(resistors,inductors and capacitors),and sensors.Given the complex and diverse application scenarios in telecom si
108、tes,it is recommended that high-precision,high-quality electronic components be used to provide the BMS with more accurate basic data and a more sensitive response to faults.2.Electrical safety protectionElectrical hazards are among the most frequent safety risks in communication lithium battery sys
109、tems.During installation,lithium batteries may face abnormal conditions such as wiring errors,poor screw fastening,and foreign object invasion.During use,they may encounter environmental damage such as condensation,water ingress,and ant invasion.These factors can lead to electrical faults such as sh
110、ort circuits,overcurrent,overvoltage,open circuits,reverse polarity,and overtemperature.A well-designed BMS shall incorporate safety protection designs against common faults and anomalies at the electrical design stage,promptly shutting off or isolating fault points.The electrical protection design
111、shall at least ensure that faults of BMS do not affect the safety of the cells,further ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device and reducing the failure rate of the BMS.OvervoltageprotectionShort circuitprotectionOvercurrentprotectionReconnect onDisconnectReverse-connectionprotectionOve
112、rtemperatureprotectionWhite Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites174.Intelligent multi-function applicationsHigh-quality lithium batteries should meet intelligent multi-function applications.Generally,the BMS only needs to monitor the changes in the voltage and current of the battery cells in
113、 real-time and set end-of-charge/discharge voltage to prevent overcharging or overdischarging of the batteries.As telecom site power backup enters the intelligent era,application demands such as intelligent parallel,intelligent hybrid use,intelligent voltage boosting,and intelligent capacity measure
114、ment pose higher requirements on BMS intelligence.See ITU-T standards,Recommendations ITU-T L.1210 and ITU-T L.1382.45.Efficient balancing managementBattery equalization refers to the process of using power electronics technology to make the voltage distribution of all battery cells in a series circ
115、uit relatively consistent.In a series circuit composed of multiple cells,uneven grouping or inconsistent usage degradation can cause differences in internal resis-tance,capacity,and voltage among different cells.Without balancing management,like the“Cask Effect”,the overall performance of system wil
116、l be determined by the cell with the lowest capacity,high-est internal resistance and shortest lifespan,leading to continuous deterioration of battery performance.Figure 13 Battery balancing management process 6.Cell status monitoringDuring use,lithium battery cells gradually age,which can lead to p
117、roblems such as capacity loss and increased internal resistance,affecting cell lifespan and system safety.The BMS has the capabilities of calculating SoC,SoH,and SoE,assessing the health status of the batteries,and adjusting charge/dis-charge policies promptly based on changes in SoH.High-quality li
118、thium batteries should be equipped with an intelligent BMS that,through integrated intelligent algorithms and data analysis technology,achieves real-time monitoring and proactive warning of battery status.7.Fault diagnosis and alarmTo improve the efficiency of solving safety issues in lithium batter
119、ies and prevent faults from occurring,the BMS should provide alarm functions when it detects any anomalies or potential faults such as short circuits,overcurrent,overvoltage,reverse polarity,overtemperature,single-point failures,cell aging,or abnormal humidity.It should preliminarily determine the f
120、ault type,position,and possible impact through data analysis and promptly upload the data to the cloud monitoring system.Currently,the industry has two types of equalization efficiency management technologies:active equal-ization and passive equalization.Passive equalization relies on parallel resis
121、tors of the cells,releasing some excess energy in the form of heat.To prevent excessive temperature rise,the equalization efficien-cy is relatively low.Active equalization,through specific circuit design,can actively transfer energy from the cell with higher voltage to the cell with lower voltage,fe
122、aturing low energy conversion loss,higher capacity utilization rate,and higher equalization efficiency.It is advised to use active equalization tech-nologies for high-quality lithium batteries.4 ITU-T L.1382(2020),)Smart energy solution for telecommunication rooms.White Paper on Lithium Batteries fo
123、r Telecom Sites188.Intelligent cloud O&M and risk warningThe cloud monitoring system,with its powerful data processing and analysis capabilities,can analyse fault alarm information deeply.Based on multidimensional information such as historical data,device operating status,and environmental factors,
124、it can accurately locate faults,produce diagnostic reports,and send them to the site O&M engineer promptly.This prevents fault escalation and ensures the safe and stable operation of the site.This not only improves the operational efficiency of the system but can also issue early warnings before any
125、 battery abnormalities occur,allowing timely measures to avoid potential safety risks.With the support of AI,the BMS becomes more intelligent and efficient,providing strong assurance for the safe application of lithium batteries in telecom sites.3.2.3 Designing high-quality battery packs to ensure h
126、igh-quality battery applicationA battery pack is a complex integrated system.To ensure system safety,a high-quality battery pack needs to address six aspects:mechanical protection,IP rating,thermal protection,environmental protection,secure connections,and anti-theft and anti-dismantling measures.Th
127、ese measures are vital to ensure that lithium batteries can withstand internal and external environmental risks over long-term use.1.Mechanical protection:preventing structural deformation and enclosure damageDuring transportation,installation and use,lithium batteries face risks such as collisions,
128、crush and drops.Over time,lithium battery cells will also experience some internal expansion.High-quality lithium batteries should use high-strength enclosure structures and materials to maintain structural and external completeness under significant internal and external pressures.This protects the
129、 internal cells and the BMS from damage,so reducing safety risks caused by physical damage.2.Enhanced Ingress Protection:protection against external dust and biological invasionIngress protection(IP)Code refers to the level of protection against dust and moisture for electrical devices.Currently,lit
130、hium batteries in the industry usually meet the IP20 standard(See IEC 605295 for more information),which blocks solid objects with a diameter greater than or equal to 12.5 mm.However,this protection level is clearly insufficient for practical application.During installation and use,metal particles,d
131、ust,gravel,ants,insects,and water in the environment can easily enter the battery pack,causing electrical system faults.It is recommended that the protection level of the BMS be enhanced on the basis of the above protec-tion level to protect the BMS from environmental foreign matter(e.g.,metal weldi
132、ng slag,insects,and ants).This design is crucial to ensure the stable operation of the batteries in various environments.3.Thermal protection:thermal diffusion prevention,heat insulation,and flame retardantStudies have shown that when temperatures exceed 35C,the cycle life of lithium batteries decre
133、ases with increasing temperatures;for every 10C rise,the cycle life is halved.During charge/discharge,lithium batteries generate heat.The higher the charge/discharge rate,the greater the temperature rise.Preventing thermal diffusion is a key aspect of thermal protection.High-quality battery packs sh
134、ould prevent thermal diffusion between adjacent cells and have good heat dissipation designs to promptly remove the heat generated by the cells.The operating temperature of the BMS is usually higher than that of the cells,so there should be thermal insulation between the BMS and the cells to lower t
135、he battery cabin temperature.The plastic components and wire harness insulation layers inside the battery pack should comply with international flame retardant standards.5 IEC 60529:1989/AMD2:2013/COR1:2019,Degrees of protection provided by enclosures(IP Code).IPCode)White Paper on Lithium Batteries
136、 for Telecom Sites19Figure 14 Common test dimensions of lithium batteriesMechanicalElectricalThermalEnvironmentalLimitation3.3 Comprehensive and in-depth verification and tests to ensure high quality and safetyIn addition to design safety,verification and test safety are also crucial aspects of the
137、safe application of lithium batteries.The safety requirements for lithium batteries need be high,and the environmental condi-tions at telecom sites are complex such as being prone to crush,electromagnetic interference,large tempera-ture variations,high humidity,and biological invasion.To ensure the
138、stable operation of lithium batteries,comprehensive,all-scenario tests shall be conducted,and lithium batteries shall pass various internationally recognized certification.See Recommendation ITU-T L.12216,which contains a description of information on possible stress tests and results.4.Environment
139、protection:resisting environmental corrosion of external enclosures and internal componentsDuring operation,transportation and storage,lithium batteries are easily affected by various environ-mental factors such as condensation,salt mist and electromagnetic interference.These factors can lead to per
140、formance degradation,failure or damage,and in severe cases,cause lithium battery fires or explo-sions.High-quality battery packs should adopt necessary environmental protection designs to prevent failures caused by condensation,avoid salt mist corrosion,and resist electromagnetic interference.These
141、protective measures help ensure that the battery operates in optimal conditions,extend its lifes-pan,and reduce safety risks due to malfunctions.5.Secure connection:providing safe fastening for internal and external componentsCurrently,most lithium batteries in the industry are primarily fastened us
142、ing bolts and nuts,which carries a certain risk of loose or missing connections.It is recommended that the industry adopts neces-sary protective designs or manufacturing controls to mitigate these risks.Some high-quality lithium batteries have already adopted laser welding or ultrasonic welding for
143、internal components,reducing the defects of loose or missing screws.6.Anti-theft and anti-dismantling:reducing theft rates and protecting owners legal rightsLithium batteries,as inherent assets,still face a high risk of theft,causing property loss and business interruptions for owners.Due to varying
144、 economic and cultural development across different regions,theft rates can be as high as 15 per cent in some areas.It is recommended that lithium battery manu-facturers adopt certain anti-theft or anti-dismantling designs to reduce the theft rate and protect the legal rights of battery owners.See R
