The Risk is Real. Your response should be too.
At Hazero, we take a leadership role in shaping how lithium-ion battery risks are understood, managed, and controlled. Our approach is grounded in compliance, but driven by a commitment to go beyond minimum standards. This hub is an evolving resource, continuously developed to reflect emerging risks, industry insights, and best-practice solutions for safer lithium-ion storage.
The Reality of Lithium-Ion Risk
Lithium-ion battery failure is rapid, unpredictable, and difficult to control.
What begins as a single compromised cell can escalate into a high-temperature event within seconds often without visible warning and with little opportunity for intervention.
Unlike traditional fire risks, this is not a slow build. It is a rapid, self-sustaining reaction that challenges conventional response methods. This is the reality of unmanaged Lithium-ion risk.
The Real Risk of Lithium-ion Batteries
Our Way of Living
The average Australian home will contain 33 lithium batteries this year
Aviation
In 2024, a staggering 250,000 batteries were removed from hold luggage by AvSec officers in New Zealand.
Thermal Intensity
Lithium-ion battery fires can reach over 600°C within seconds
Speed of Failure
Thermal runaway can occur without warning in under 30 seconds
