A project was initiated to provide a flammability characterization of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in bulk storage. This report describes a comparison of cartoned Li-ion batteries and FM Global standard commodities in a rack storage configuration. Subsequent large-scale fire tests were conducted to assess the effectiveness of ceiling-level sprinkler protection. The results provide the basis for the long-term project goal to establish protection options specific to the unique hazards associated with Li-ion batteries in storage occupancies. Li-ion battery commodities, used in the project, were selected to represent a wide range of commercially available battery formats including Li-ion battery-containing devices. The selected Li-ion battery types were: 18650 format cylindrical cells, power tool packs (comprised of 18650 format cells), and polymer cells. The selected comparison commodities were FM Global standard class 2 and cartoned unexpanded plastic (CUP).
