Designing a battery storage room is challenging as it contains dangerous chemical material combined with electrical energy stored inside the room. The literature study could extract safety recommendations and practices for high-density battery storage room design. This proposed approach in room design aims to increase the public''s safety, operating staff,
Fire protection for lithium-ion battery storage spaces must account for the unique hazards posed by thermal runaway. Standard fire suppression systems may not be enough to manage the risks of lithium-ion battery fires. Facilities need systems specifically designed to detect, suppress, and prevent reignition of these types of fires.
Newer codes and standards such as NFPA 855 address size and energy requirements that building operators using these BESS solutions must meet. Some of the most notable requirements limit the maximum energy capacity of ESS groups or arrays to 50 kWH, 250 kWH per listed array, and 600 kWH per fire area.

Evidence has shown that the key to successful fire protection of lithium-ion batteries is suppressing/extinguishing the fire, reducing of heat-transfer from cell to cell and then cooling the adjacent cells that make up the battery pack/module.
Marine class rules: Key design aspects for the fire protection of Li-ion battery spaces. In general, fire detection (smoke/heat) is required, and battery manufacturer requirements are referred to in some of the rules. Of-gas detection is specifically required in most rules.
Battery systems, modules and cells must be protected against external (electrical) fires. Possible measures: Fire alarm system with automatic extinguishing system for electrical risks. The extinguishing agent should ensure zero residue to the protection of the installation.
From the point that a fire is established and developing the task moves from fire prevention to suppression and containment. The mere presence of Lithium-Ion batteries in a room represents a considerable risk of fire - whether they are in storage or operational.
The report Development of Sprinkler Protection Guidance for Lithium Ion Based Energy Storage Systems, published in June 2019 on the FM Global Website, is the basis for recommendations on fire protection and separation distances from both noncombustible and combustible materials.
