Abstract
As lithium batteries have been used for car navigation systems and as the second battery for black boxes, lithium battery-related car fires have often occurred. In the case a lithium battery is the fire origin, a fire investigation technique has not been established to determine if a battery ignites or whether the lithium battery is damaged by fire. This study introduced car fire cases related to lithium batteries, analyzed the causes of a fire of a lithium battery, and proposed fire investigation techniques to objectively determine if a lithium battery ignites or whether a lithium battery is damaged by fire after external ignition.
