Is Smoke From A Lithium Battery Dangerous. The SHORT answer is that a number of extremely toxic gases are emitted from a ruptured Lithium ion cell. Earlier I breathed in some smoke from a Li-Po battery outdoors.
But despite the aforementioned warnings the good news is that lithium ion batteries are for the most part safe. When I saw the smoke I covered my mouth but smelt the nasty smell. The production of smoke from the lithium-ion battery is because of the excess heat of the battery.
If you can safely isolate the fire from everything else do that but keep yourself safe first.
This incident was very mild compared to other cases but I assure you fellow CPFrs it is very scary and dangerous. The health affect on humans is also dependen. This creates new challenges for use storage and handling. Lithium-ion battery fires generate intense heat and considerable amounts of gas and smoke.
