In recent years, lithium-ion battery uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have gradually gained popularity due to their high efficiency and lightweight nature. However, controversies over "explosion risks" have also emerged alongside. According to the latest statistics from China Energy Storage Network in 2025, lithium-ion batteries account for over 80% of fire and explosion incidents in global electrochemical energy storage power stations.
However, an in-depth analysis reveals that the high incidence of accidents is closely related to battery types and usage scenarios. For instance, ternary lithium-ion batteries have a relatively high risk of thermal runaway, with an accident rate 2.5 times that of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Lithium-ion battery UPS systems using LFP solutions have had their safety certified by national third-party laboratories, with an extremely low probability of thermal runaway.
Technological Upgrades and Standard Improvements: Significantly Raising the Safety Bar
Modern lithium-ion battery UPS systems are generally equipped with intelligent Battery Management Systems (BMS) that can monitor voltage and temperature in real-time and automatically cut off power in cases of overcharging or overloading for protection.
Take HIGHIDEA as an example. Its vehicle-mounted lithium-ion battery UPS adopts brand-new LFP cells, eliminates the use of second-life batteries, and has a cycle life of over 1,600 times. Through a multi-stage charging and discharging design, it reduces the risk of thermal runaway to below the industry average. Moreover, the product is suitable for high-demand scenarios such as military and medical applications, demonstrating its stability under extreme environmental conditions.
Human Factors Require Vigilance in Daily Use
Statistics show that 43.3% of lithium-ion battery accidents are caused by human operational errors, such as improper charging and failure to replace aging equipment in a timely manner.
Users are advised to:
- Give priority to LFP battery solutions.
- Regularly inspect cable connections to avoid excessive voltage drops.
- Keep the equipment away from high-temperature and humid environments and ensure proper ventilation.
The explosion risk of lithium-ion battery UPS systems is not uncontrollable. The key lies in selecting the right technology and brand. Enterprises like HIGHIDEA, which focus on LFP solutions, are providing users with more reassuring power protection through material innovation and intelligent management. With technological advancements, the safety of lithium-ion battery UPS systems has far surpassed that of traditional lead-acid batteries, making them the preferred choice for high-reliability scenarios.
