Gigafactories are specialized ultra-large volume production facilities for manufacturing lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells used for EVs and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The name is reflective of the capacity of the plant to build battery cells measured in gigawatts (GW) annually.
Nexceris and its Li-ion Tamer technology were featured in The Wall Street Journal on November 8, 2023. The article discusses how electric cars combust differently than their gas-powered counterparts. Firefighters and researchers said EV fires last longer, are harder to put out and have a tendency to reignite.
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.
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 is extremely proud of our recent work with a tier 1 OEM battery manufacturer. What follows is a case study produced by our partner Xtralis.
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”.
