This section provides information on alternative energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors and flywheel energy storage systems. . A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from. Battery. . Lithium batteries, as the dominant rechargeable battery, exhibit favorable characteristics such as high energy density, lightweight, faster charging, low self-discharging rate, and low memory effect. Unique safety concerns are associated with these technologies and the plan review process can be lengthy due to system complexities and the lack of. . A study conducted by the Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF), the research affiliate of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), assessed hazards associated with transporting energy storage systems (ESS), including lithium-ion batteries (LIB), in enclosed cargo spaces aboard marine. .
