Tech Tuesday #9 – Fire Suppression

In the ninth installment of our Tech Tuesday Series we take a bitesized look at what goes into the technology behind our battery tech, starting with the fourth of our safety features at the module level.

Module Safety – Fire Suppression

Hibernium® battery modules are designed with safety as a top priority, and feature a cutting-edge fire suppression system that sets them apart from other products on the market. Unlike other systems that rely on active monitoring and intervention, the Hibernium fire suppression system is always-on and designed to quickly extinguish fires in-situ, at the cell level. This means that any thermal events that occur within the battery cells are suppressed within seconds, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring the safety of the entire module.

All in all, the Hibernium® fire suppression system is a major step forward in the field of battery safety, providing a reliable, always-on solution that can quickly and effectively extinguish fires at the cell level, without the need for active monitoring systems. This can give peace of mind to the users and help them to operate the battery modules with confidence.

As we shift towards an all-electric future, it is battery safety technology like this that is making electrification a reality, not just for the mass vehicle market, but for more diverse marketings such as mining, construction, aviation and agriculture too.

Tech Tuesdays Series

At Xerotech, we take battery safety very seriously. As a trusted supplier of battery technology to a wide variety of heavy industry, we believe in an ethos where batteries and battery technology should never pose a risk to people, even under the most extreme of conditions. Because of this we conduct a rigorous set of in-house tests and incorporate many different features that build in high levels of battery safety as standard. These tests are designed to push the boundaries far beyond what could be expected, even in the most demanding of conditions. It is as a direct result of this that we have developed one of the safest batteries in the world today.
