The standards and methodology that I have used for UL/CSA and CE Marking is to select UL Recognized batteries AND then focus upon: Short Circuit Reverse Charge Overcharge
This is the best PRACTICAL guidance material that I have found. !!!!!The protection issues are MUCH more complex that appear at first sight!!!!! Check also the FAA - this first major issue that I recall was a Li battery exploding in an aircraft panel - the plane landed safety - following the incident Li batteries were banned from aircraft for many years. I expect that the FAA also has something on the subject.

I've searched several standards web sites (IEC, ANSI, IEEE, CENELEC, BSI, UL, CSA) and there appears to be nothing specific to lithium-ion cells. Your help will be appreciated. Regards, Peter L.
