Batteries & Accumulators

Passive fire protection is crucial in the e-mobility arena, as energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries are susceptible to short circuits when damaged, whether during an accident or due to an intrinsic fault. Such an event can lead to a thermal runaway incident in battery cells – an uncontrollable temperature increase. The resulting heat can trigger chain reactions, leading to temperatures of several hundred degrees, potentially causing the entire battery to ignite or even explode. Preventative fire protection measures, such as those offered by KuhnOdice, provide reliable safety solutions for batteries and accumulators, and should be an integral part of electric vehicles and their infrastructure.
