Ensuring Safety for Electric Vehicles and Beyond... what are your best options?
Lithium-ion batteries power many of today’s devices, from electric vehicles (EVs) to consumer electronics, providing the energy efficiency and performance required for our modern lifestyle. However, the energy density that makes these batteries so effective also poses unique fire risks, including thermal runaway and intense heat. When these incidents occur, having the right fire containment tools can make all the difference in mitigating damage and ensuring safety. Here, we explore the top three containment tools available for lithium-ion fires.
1. Fire Blankets for Electric Vehicles
Why Use a Fire Blanket?
Specialized fire blankets designed for lithium-ion fires, like the Li-Fire EV Fire Blanket, are a must-have for anyone handling EVs or other large-scale lithium-ion devices. These blankets work by completely covering and isolating the fire, limiting heat and smoke from spreading. The Li-Fire blankets are crafted with heat-resistant, durable materials that withstand extreme temperatures, providing effective containment for both small and large electric vehicles, including golf carts and forklifts.
Key Features:
- High heat resistance for intense fires.
- Available in multiple sizes for different vehicle types.
- Easy deployment for rapid response.
Applications:
Ideal for home garages, commercial fleet facilities, and public parking areas, these blankets can be deployed quickly to manage fire incidents and protect surrounding areas.
2. Aerosol Fire Suppressors
Why Use Aerosol Fire Suppressors?
Aerosol fire suppression devices, such as the Stat-X Aerosol, offer rapid and effective suppression of lithium-ion fires. When activated, these systems release a fine mist of aerosol particles, which cool and disrupt the fire’s chemical reaction. This type of containment tool is especially useful for smaller-scale fires or as a complementary measure alongside fire blankets.
Key Features:
- Quick activation for immediate response.
- Non-toxic, environmentally friendly aerosol agents.
- Portable and suitable for enclosed spaces.
Applications:
Perfect for residential, commercial, and industrial settings, aerosol fire suppressors add an extra layer of safety for lithium-ion batteries in use or storage.
3. Multi-Purpose Containment Bags
Why Use Multi-Purpose Containment Bags?
Multi-purpose containment bags are designed to enclose smaller lithium-ion devices, including tools, batteries, and industrial equipment. These bags provide a fire-resistant barrier that limits the spread of fire and smoke. Li-Fire’s containment bags are manufactured with robust, heat-resistant materials and are suitable for scenarios where compact lithium-ion-powered items need safe storage or transport.
Key Features:
- Available in various sizes to fit different devices.
- Heat-resistant materials for effective containment.
- Easy-to-store and deploy for safety on-the-go.
Applications:
Ideal for battery storage, transport, and quick-response containment in environments like workshops, factories, and maintenance centers.
