Abstract There is no research or alternative technology to use low-efficiency, high-cost lead acid batteries, which are used as a power source for storage tanks for transporting coal in mines, into high-efficiency, eco-friendly lithium batteries, so they can be replaced with lithium-ion batteries to improve the working environment. It not only ensures the safety of workers and increases the operating efficiency of storage batteries by extending the life of the battery, but also reduces cost losses caused by arranging separate locations and personnel due to hydrogen gas generated when charging and discharging lead acid batteries. In order to achieve this, we developed an explosion-proof lithium battery that can ensure safety by applying explosionproof technology that can respond to methane gas explosion environments, high temperature, dust, and high humidity situations of more than 90% relative humidity, which are essential in coal mines.
