How does environmental pressure affect the risk of high temperature lithium battery explosions downhole?

As ambient pressure decreases, lithium batteries trigger thermal runaway sooner, but their risk of generating high temperatures and gas shocks decreases. Under different pressure environments, the composition and content of gases produced by thermal runaway vary. Specifically, as ambient pressure decreases, the content of CO2 decreases while the content of gases such as unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g., C4H8, C4H6, C5H10) increases, which increases the risk of explosions in low-pressure environments.

The safe use of high-temperature lithium batteries is particularly important in underground environments. Explosion-proof design, battery management system (BMS), thermal management technology, maintenance and inspection, and emergency measures are all key factors in ensuring the safe use of high-temperature lithium batteries in underground environments.
