Critical and non-critical battery modules
The condition of a battery module after a status change or an error may be critical or non-critical. A qualified person must assess on site whether a battery module is critical or non-critical.
- Critical battery modules are potentially dangerous. The following symptoms serve as orientation:
– The battery module has a notable smell, e.g., of plastic or gas.
– Gases are leaking from the battery module.
– The battery module enclosure is swollen, or the interior of the battery module is visible and/or is very hot. - Non-critical battery modules are battery modules, for example, whose storage capacity is no longer sufficient.
