Application Note: Keeping Lithium-Ion Battery Systems Safe
6/16/2022
  • Fixed Gas & Flame Detection Fixed Gas & Flame Detection
Li-Ion battery systems are not 100% risk-free. For this reason, fixed gas and flame detectors (FGFD) are a prudent layer of protection to help ensure early sensing/detection when dangerous conditions develop.

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery technologies are reshaping energy-related industries across the world. These batteries power our daily lives in numerous ways, helping decarbonize our environment and lessen the impact of climate change.

However, Li-Ion battery systems are not 100% risk-free, and in certain situations they can exhibit instability including the generation of toxic and flammable gases, or even fire ignition in extreme cases. For these reasons, fixed gas and flame detectors (FGFD) are a prudent layer of protection to help ensure early sensing/detection when dangerous conditions develop. Read our latest application note, Lithium-Ion Battery Gas & Flame Hazard Detection Solutions, to learn how to protect these increasingly common systems.
