Where can I find lithium-ion battery energy storage fire protection system

What is battery fire protection?

Battery Fire Protection allows safe use of battery energy storage systems and industrial power banks wherever they are installed.

Can a lithium ion battery fire re-ignite?

While there are various types of suppression system available, AF&RS advice that the system is water misting, in the event of a lithium-ion battery fire which may produce thermal runaway, a water system would be more effective in preventing re-ignition. Include redundancy in the design, to provide multiple layers of protection.

How does lithium ion battery fire control work?

As lithium-ion battery fires create their own oxygen during thermal runaway, they are very difficult for fire and rescue services to deal with. Lithium-ion battery fire control is normally only achieved by using copious amounts of water to cool battery cells.

How does Fike protect lithium ion batteries and energy storage systems?

Learn how Fike protects lithium ion batteries and energy storage systems from devestating fires through the use of gas detection, water mist and chemical agents.

Can a lithium ion battery fire?

Like many other forms of technology that routinely transform, store, and use energy, there is a small chance of malfunction, which for lithium-ion batteries may occur, for example, following physical damage or heat exposure, and while the chance of a li ion battery fire is extremely rare, these adverse conditions can lead to fire.

Can you use a fire extinguisher on a lithium ion battery?

For small lithium-ion battery fires, specialist fire extinguishers are now available, that can be applied directly to the battery cells, to provide both cooling and oxygen depletion, with the aim to control fire and reduce temperature to below the level where there is sufficient heat to re-ignite the fire.
