Our simple calculations estimate the number of battery cells inside a warehouse based on the dimensions of Li-on batteries, boxes, racks and other storage details provided in the literature. For a warehouse with dimensions of 80 × 80 × 9 m, there are 3.5 million polymer pouch batteries or 64.5 million cylindrical batteries (type 18650). This number matters for calculations of the risk of self-heating ignition.
