Misinformation vs the facts! At #Chargeboss we are often asked about EV Fire Safety especially when installing chargers 🔌 in enclosed car spaces. Insurers are also having a hard time understanding and assessing the risks. #EVfiresafe has key data from Australia and around the world bringing clarity to a new and emerging industry.

Lithium-ion Batteries Demonstrate Their Safety in Fire Tests

Choosing the right product for a battery pack is very important.

Those modules got sound phycal protection from Battery enclosure as well

This is what happens when electric cars collide. There are multiple explosions as the heavy duty lithium-ion batteries explode compartment-wise. *A lithium fire is a Class D fire that requires a specialized fire extinguisher.* Regular extinguishers meant for Class A, B & C fires (like water, foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide and clean agent) *cannot and should not be used on Class D fires*, as they will *worsen the fire* instead of dousing it, and they can even fatally injure the user. Fumes of lithium fires are also toxic. #Safety #lithium batteries #Hybrid vehicles #Class D Fire

This is what happens when electric cars collide. Heavy-duty lithium-ion batteries can explode by compartmentalizing multiple explosions. *Lithium fire is a Class D fire requiring special fire extinguishers used on Class D fires*, because they will make the fire worse rather than put it out, and they can cause fatal injury to the user. Fumes from lithium fires are also toxic. #safetyawareness #roadsafety #batterycar

In the new world of fighting electric car fires, the most confident claims are now being made. One tool promises to put out the flames from the battery in an instant, another promises to stop the thermal runaway with it. Yet other tools simply promise that ‘it works’ and that you should just trust them to do so. Very promising. But no. At Fire Isolator, we have spoken and trained enough with professionals over the past 3 years to remain humble and realistic. Indeed, we have actively sought out critical professionals to keep us on track. Including the ‘arms in front of the chest, disapproving look-types’. It has brought us realism, improvements to the products, a wider range of water mist products, and better practical applicability.

You can buy time and isolate to actually kill the fire you need a watercontainer which is not available in 95% of the cases. So than Fire ⚡ Isolator concept gives the best available solution

FireRescue1: Electric vehicle fires: Where the waiting game wins. Once a battery cell fails, it is impossible to extinguish the failed cell as the chemical reaction inside the cell happens far too quickly. The only way to stop a thermal runaway is by directly cooling the cells involved to ensure that the failed cell does not cause the cells around it to also fail. https://lnkd.in/dMpK57Mw
