To address safety concerns across the spectrum of people involved in EV manufacturing, transport and use—from drivers to EV plant workers to first responders and others—Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) and Li-ion Tamer have created a number of ready-now solutions to not only protect individuals and assets, but also to help detect the risk of battery fires sooner.

FM Global recently updated its Property Loss Prevention Datasheet 5-33 which provides guidance on the design, installation, and maintenance of lithium-ion battery systems. The datasheet covers various aspects of fire protection, electrical safety, and thermal management for these systems. Li-ion Tamer is an industry leading provider of off-gas detection systems.

The Li-ion Tamer GEN 3 system reliably detects the early signs of lithium-ion battery failures (battery electrolyte vapors – off gas detection), allowing preventative actions to be taken to avoid impending battery thermal runaway events much earlier than other protection systems. Early notification and mitigation of fire risks in lithium-ion battery storage environments will protect assets and maintain operational functions (business continuity).

Li-ion Tamer will be attending and exhibiting at The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, Germany from May 23-25, 2023.

Li-ion Tamer and Honeywell were recently featured in Barron’s article titled “EV Fires Are a Thing, but Not for Long. Honeywell Is Part of the Reason Why”.

The Automatic Fire Alarm Association (AFAA) New England Chapter is hosting an event on March 6th at 6:00 PM regarding Energy Storage Systems in Occupied Buildings. Steve Cummings, Director of the Sensors Business Unit at Nexceris will be serving on the panel discussing this important topic.

Li-ion Tamer was recently recognized by Honeywell as one of the Top Innovations of 2022

• Honeywell battery sensors and gas detection monitoring portfolio and manufacturing expertise combined with Li-ion Tamer gas detection solutions will address electric vehicle thermal runaway, one of the primary risks which can cause vehicle failure and fires.

As more and more lithium battery fires occur, increasing lithium battery safety through proven products such as Li-ion Tamer becomes critical.

The Arizona Public Service McMicken Battery Fire has rippled throughout the Stationary Energy Storage Market. Recently, three conflicting reports were released detailing the events from UL, DNV-GL, and LG Chem/Exponent.

The UL 9540A test method continues to set the standard for battery energy storage safety testing. The method quickly answers questions regarding the ability for a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (ESS) to deal with thermal runaway.

Lithium ion battery failure follows four primary stages, which are initial abuse, off-gas generation, smoke generation, and fire propagation.  Both the initial abuse and off-gas generation stages fall within what’s called the “preventative region”.

Li-ion Tamer Group is always pursuing certifications and approvals to help widen the markets we can access.
