Hi Laurika,

Trust all is well your side.

Just to confirm I have received an sms indicating payment has been made and it will reflect in 2 working days.

Thank you to all for making this process so easy.

I must say that so far dealing with Santam (and yourself especially) has been really easy and stress free.

Thanks again for all your efforts. Hope you have a great weekend.

Kind regards
Taufeeq

What Causes Lithium Battery Fires?

Following our previous newsletter about the devastation caused by a lithium battery fire at Axiom Hydraulics, we will look at the most common causes of lithium battery fires.

Since June last year, only four lithium battery fires have resulted in damages of more than R45 million.

One of the biggest concerns with these systems is incorrect installation. With this booming demand, it appears that anyone and everyone is now installing alternative energy systems.


The system must be installed and tested by a qualified electrician in compliance with all applicable legislation and manufacturer’s guidelines.

It is vitally important that the manufacturer's instructions and specifications are adhered to. This photo illustrates an incorrect installation with insufficient spacing between the inverter and battery.


A valid electrical certificate of compliance and test report for the system must be issued and available for inspection when required.


Another fire trigger is thermal runaway in these batteries. A thermal runaway is a chain reaction within a battery that leads to rapid temperature and pressure increase.

Causes of thermal runaway could be due to any of the following:

a) Internal short circuits due to physical damage or manufacturing defects.

b) Overcharging and discharging- exceeding the recommended charging or discharging rates.

c) External heat sources - batteries exposed to high ambient temperatures or near heat generating devices.

d) Age and wear and tear over time.

CIA INSURANCE NEWSLETTER
To prevent failure regular inspections and maintenance are recommended to identify potential risks.

In addition to the above a lesson learnt from the fire in our previous newsletter is that no combustible material may be stored within two meters of any inverter or battery.

Landlords must ensure that their tenants are made aware of the dangers of and requirements in terms of these systems as failure to do so may result in the repudiation of a claim.

In our next newsletter, we will look at why traditional firefighting methods are not effective on lithium battery fires.
