On August 11th local time, at the Suncycle engineering and testing center for solar and energy storage services located in Thuringia, Germany, the lithium battery container caught fire again, marking the third time in two months that the fire department had to respond to the scene.

The fire department stated on its Facebook page that one employee suffered minor injuries from smoke and fumes; the German Press Agency (dpa) reported that the injured employee, to prevent the spread of the fire, used a forklift to move the burning storage unit away from the battery container storage area, and according to the fire department, the damage is estimated at 30,000 euros.

After the fire, due to the heavy smoke, the local government issued a warning for residents to keep their windows and doors closed, which lasted until Monday. This was the third fire involving Suncycle's battery energy storage components since June 7th.
