Fire Resistance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> To contain and prevent the spread of fire in case of a battery malfunction or thermal runaway. This protects the vessel and its occupants from potential fire hazards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Implementation:<\/strong> Battery lockers can be constructed from fire-resistant materials or lined with fire-retardant insulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Spill Containment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> To prevent the spread of electrolyte spills, which can be corrosive and cause damage to the vessel&#8217;s structure or other equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Implementation:<\/strong> The locker&#8217;s floor should be sloped or have a bunded area to collect any spilled electrolyte.
