Stop a Battery Fire with the PED Pad
Extinguish Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Within Seconds. The PED-Pad pillow can be placed over a compromised PED (Personal Electronic Device) in the event of a thermal runaway.
Lithium-ion Fire Response
Even under the best circumstances batteries can fail. This may be due to battery age, previous damage, or the batteries may be “Grey Market.”
LIBIK Training Demonstration – Passenger Cabin Scenario
How to implement the Lithium-ion Battery Incident Kit in the event of an overheating device inside an inflight passenger cabin.
Why is a lithium fire worse than a regular fire?
A lithium-ion battery fire in a controlled environment. Do not try this at home. I doubt I have to explain this to you, but uncontained fire is generally bad. There are numerous obvious exceptions, but virtually every unintentional fire is cause for alarm, both literally and figuratively. Since humans first harnessed the power of fire […]
How to safely store lithium batteries
I’ve recently discovered that many people store batteries in their refrigerator, presumably because some well intentioned science teacher taught them colder temperatures slow down the rate of energy discharge. While the science behind the idea has merit, most battery manufacturers recommend against storing your batteries in the fridge for numerous reasons related to safety. So […]
Dylan Francis Vandemark to Present at RAeS Conference: “Lithium Batteries – A Rising Risk In Aviation”
Dylan Francis Vandemark from CellBlock FCS will present Emerging Technology in Lithium-Ion Battery Safety at the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Flight Operations Group conference on February 28th, 2019.
A PED fire has been suppressed by CellBlockEX. Should I also pour water on it?
Hypothetically, a nearby PED (personal electronic device) such as a laptop or cell phone is experiencing thermal runaway or is on fire. You’re considering using CellBlock fire suppression products as a solution to your imminent problem, but will you need water or other liquids to assist in extinguishing the fire? No. This step is not […]
