Advantages of EV Car Fire Blanket

How does an EV car catch fire?

Even though data shows that EV car fires are more rare than regular car fires, EV cars burn hotter & for a longer period.  But how does an EV car catch fire exactly? Electric vehicles are powered by a battery that needs to be charged.  When a cell of the battery overheats, it can enter a process called ‘thermal runaway’; this basically means the cells keep making themselves hotter & hotter, very quickly.  They ignite the other cells in the battery, making the whole battery catch fire.  Lithium-ion batteries can even reignite after they’ve been put out.

For the safety of life & property, it is highly recommended to have an EV Car Fire Blanket available where vehicles are charged.  EV Car Fire Blankets are suitable for small vehicles all the way to SUVs & can be used on both Electric & Fuel powered vehicles alike.  The innovative solution is engineered to swiftly address vehicle fires, providing a quick & effective means of isolation & control.  Car Fires can lead to catastrophic incidents by rapidly spreading to other vehicles or property.  The ability to contain these fires until Emergency Services arrive is invaluable….. & could save lives as well as property.

Advantages of Lithium-ion Battery Blankets

Currently, there are very limited methods of safely tackling a fire involving a lithium-ion battery because they burn at extreme temperatures.  Even a small one can create “thermal runaway” where one cell ignites the next one in an unstoppable chain.  If your premises has lithium-ion powered devices, particularly a large quantity stored together (E-Bikes/Scooters/Power Tools) ….. then having a lithium fire blanket is highly recommended.

Generally, such devices are very safe when just being stored & not being charged, however, it’s when they become damaged or inappropriately used or recharged that lithium batteries pose a fire risk.  The Lithium Battery Blanket is mainly designed for battery fires where there is a risk of thermal runaway to contain the fire, but will also reduce damage & help prevent the escape of toxic fumes; this could be vital for safe evacuation of a premises where Lithium Batteries are in communal areas or storage.

Advantages of Lithium-ion Fire Extinguishers

Lithium-ion Battery Fire Extinguishers contain Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD); a revolutionary fire extinguishing agent designed to stop Lithium-ion battery fires fast.  They are designed to suppress Lithium-ion battery fires in their infancy before developing into a fully established fire.  They can also be used to protect against fires where batteries are stored or charged; these are a great portable solution which may be mounted in an area where you have numerous risks in varied locations.
