u.n. agency bans lithium-ion batteries on passenger aircraft1
Montreal, Reuters-The U. N.
The airline banned the transportation of lithium on Monday-
After pilots and aircraft manufacturers are concerned about the risk of fire in ion batteries, ion batteries are used as cargo on passenger planes.
Lithium metal batteries for watches have been banned on global passenger planes.
The lithium metal battery used in the watch does not need to be charged while the lithium-
Ion batteries for mobile phones and laptops can be charged.
International Civil Aviation Organization 36-
The State Council said the ban will take effect from April 1 and will continue until a new fire.
A packaging-resistant standard is designed to transport batteries. Lithium-
Ion batteries can still be transported on cargo planes.
In a statement, the president of the ICAO council, olouiwa Bennard arliu, said the new packaging standards are expected to be introduced by 2018.
The ban is mandatory for ICAO member states.
Pilots and aircraft manufacturers are concerned that existing standards are not enough to contain a lithium battery fire.
A 2015 working paper written by organizations represented by aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing found that the fire protection system on the aircraft at present cannot \"suppress or extinguish fires caused by a large number of lithium batteries \".
But a dangerous goods expert familiar with ICAO\'s thinking questioned the ban on lithium
Ion batteries can really make passenger planes safer.
He said that such battery fire incidents usually involve the shipper deliberately labeling the battery.
\"When the industry banned the transportation of lithium --
\"Metal batteries, we \'ve seen them spread as examples of lithium-ion batteries,\" the expert said . \" He was not authorized to speak publicly.
\"Those who do not comply now will not comply with the ban.
In modern lithium-ion and energy storage systems, the Battery Management System (BMS) plays a central role in ensuring safety, performance stability, and life cycle reliability. From residential ESS to commercial and industrial battery cabinets, the BMS serves as the “control brain” of the battery pack—monitoring operating conditions, coordinating charge and discharge behavior, and preventing failures that could lead to performance loss or safety events.
As the global energy storage industry moves towards a larger scale of deployment, the North American market has emerged as a key growth area for energy storage applications. It is driven by increasing renewable energy capacity and rising demand for grid resilience. Concurrently, industry regulatory standards are continuously being elevated, making thermal safety and fire protection compliance critical thresholds for project approval and delivery.
Winter storage of lithium batteries is a critical factor for maintaining performance and longevity. Exposure to freezing temperatures can temporarily reduce battery output, and in severe cases, cause irreversible damage. GSL ENERGY’s heating-enabled LiFePO₄ batteries, such as the 14.34kWh wall-mounted storage system, ensure safe and reliable operation in cold climates for residential, commercial, and industrial energy storage applications.
Against the backdrop of the global energy transition, the safety and efficiency of energy storage systems have become key metrics for evaluating brands. This article conducts an in-depth assessment of GSL ENERGY's energy storage batteries, comprehensively demonstrating its technological prowess and core value as a leading global provider of energy storage solutions. This evaluation is based on over 6,000 cycle lifetimes, modular seamless scalability, compatibility with major global inverters, and certifications to international standards such as UL9540.
