The Thermal Runaway Reduction Act of 2026 directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish regulations for the safe transportation of lithium-ion batteries, focusing on preventing thermal runaway (uncontrolled temperature increases that can cause fires). The bill requires the Secretary to work with the United Nations to develop improved impact tests for lithium-ion batteries, mandate that batteries be transported at no more than 30 percent state of charge unless specially approved, and issue guidance on handling damaged or recalled batteries. The bill also establishes two grant programs: one for research into thermal runaway suppression technologies and another to provide fire departments with equipment and tools to respond to lithium battery fires.
