Ensuring safety is a top priority for OPzS battery manufacturers. The casing design must adhere to stringent industry standards to prevent accidents and ensure long-term reliability.
- Electrolyte Containment:
The casing must completely enclose the sulfuric acid electrolyte, eliminating the risk of spillage or leakage during use. This containment is critical for both user safety and environmental protection. - Ventilation and Gas Control:
OPzS batteries release hydrogen gas during charging. The casing design must include controlled venting systems to prevent pressure buildup and reduce the risk of explosion. - Fire Retardancy:
Some applications require the casing material to have fire-retardant properties, especially in installations where the risk of fire is high. This ensures compliance with safety standards such as UL 94 V-0. - Regulatory Compliance:
Manufacturers must ensure their battery casings meet international standards such as IEC 61427 (batteries for renewable energy) and ISO 9001 (quality management) to remain competitive in the market.
