UN aviation agency bans lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger flights
\"As ICAO continues to carry out separate work on the new lithium battery packaging performance standards, this temporary ban will continue to be in effect and is currently expected to be in force by 2018, the president of the International Civil Aviation Organization, olueva Bennard arliu, told reporters. The 36-
The decision, which will take effect on April 1, is mandatory for all Member States, the State Department said.
The International Civil Aviation Organization reported on February 13 that the decision was announced before the results of the US and Japan investigations came out.
ICAO added that no additional restrictions will be imposed on other batteries or other means of transporting lithiumion batteries.
The agency\'s concerns stem from the fact that pilots and aircraft manufacturers have indicated that the current packaging standards are not fire-proof.
Reuters quoted a report from Boeing 2015 saying that fire safety measures currently targeted at passenger planes cannot \"suppress or extinguish fires caused by a large number of lithium batteries \".
The Federal Aviation Administration recently expressed the same concern, warning that if lithium-
According to AFP, ion batteries are transported through the cargo hold.

Some airlines have taken the initiative to do so.
However, despite these concerns, there are also some who do not agree.
An unnamed informed expert told the agency: \"When the industry banned the transportation of lithium --

Ion batteries have caused serious trouble to the aircraft-both of which were made on the Boeing 787 in January 2013.
One of them happened in Boston and the other in Japan-a fact that forced an emergency landing at Komatsu airport in western Japan.
As a result, the regulator closed all 787 in more than three months.

Energy storage systems (ESS) are the key to the global energy transition and the development in renewable energy. BESS are used in homes, factories, malls, remote rural areas, large-scale power grid projects, etc. BMS is the "brain" of the ESS, it plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and efficiency. Do not worry if you are unfamiliar about what it is, GSL ENERGY is here to tell you everything needed to know about energy storage BMS.
GSL ENERGY remains committed to providing reliable battery energy storage solutions for global customers through technological innovation and stringent quality standards. Recently, our independently developed BESS liquid-cooled integrated battery energy storage systems (BESS-209kWh, BESS-261kWh, BESS-365kWh, BESS-418kWh) successfully passed testing by authoritative institutions, obtaining CE certification and IEC 619 series standard certification.
In the UK, energy storage for homes and small businesses is rapidly gaining traction. With rising electricity prices and increasing solar installations, more households are adopting storage batteries to shave peak loads, self-consume generated power, and mitigate power outage risks.
Energy storage systems are familiar to many—they store excess electricity, wind energy, and other forms of power. These devices enhance energy efficiency through rational utilization and can be likened to oversized power banks. As a manufacturer of commercial energy storage batteries, GSL ENERGY will now analyze the cooling methods of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems.
SGS representatives attended the Las Vegas exhibition to present UL 9540, UL 9540A, and UL 1973 certificates to GSL ENERGY's energy storage products, accelerating the company's expansion into the North American market.
Australia ranks among the world's highest in solar penetration, with residential PV systems reaching nearly 30% adoption. However, compared to solar installations, energy storage systems remain relatively underutilized. To advance clean energy development, both the federal and state governments are actively introducing battery storage subsidies to encourage more households and businesses to install energy storage systems, thereby enhancing energy independence and grid stability.
