The UL Lithium-Ion Batery Incident Reporting encompasses incidents caused by utility-scale, C&I, and residential BESS, as well as EVs, e-mobility, and consumer products. This database focuses exclusively on lithium ion technologies. While recent fires aflicting some of these BESS have garnered significant media atention, the overall rate of incidents has sharply decreased,1 as lessons learned. . Since this series was first issued, there have been at least sixteen further incidents of BESS failures1 around the world that have resulted in fires and damage to property, although there are no reports of significant injuries. 1 Advocates argue that batteries can store surplus power from wind and solar generation and discharge it when needed.

Depth of Discharge (DOD) refers to the percentage of a battery's capacity that has been used during a discharge cycle. . As lithium-ion energy storage systems become increasingly essential in residential solar setups, commercial and industrial energy storage, and electric vehicles, one factor plays a pivotal role in system efficiency and battery longevity: Depth of Discharge (DOD). DoD and SoC always add up to 100%: DoD (%) = 100% − SoC (%). It is essentially the inverse of another important energy storage metric, State of Charge (SoC), which measures how much energy remains in the battery. Let's dive deeper into what affects battery lifespan and explore the DoDs of some of EnergySage's most popular batteries. Depth of discharge (DoD). .
