Are Lithium-Ion Batteries Dangerous? Yes, they can be, especially if not properly handled or controlled. Lithium-ion batteries contain flammable electrolytes and solvents that can rapidly propagate fires. They are also prone to thermal runaway, resulting in rapid temperature increases that can cause fires or explosions.

A review of lithium-ion battery safety concerns: The issues,

LIBs typically consist of four major parts: cathode, anode, separator, and electrolyte [36]. Cathodes and anodes are the charge carriers contributing to LIB energy storage and release. The separator physically divides the electrodes to prevent internal short-circuits while allowing Li + flow. The electrolyte carries ions, including Li +.
