Lithium-Ion (or Li-Ion batteries) – are crucial for providing portable power for modern-day electronic devices including server racks, laptops, power tools, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. On the plus side, lithium-ion batteries provide energy-efficient storage, but they are inherently flammable and if used incorrectly are at risk of exploding, or short-circuiting.

With this in mind, Honeywell has launched the Li-ion Tamer® Rack Monitoring System, a plug and play device that provides an effective early warning detection at the critical stage of battery failure. Li-ion Tamer® can detect a single cell failure and works between the off-gas and smoke stages before thermal runaway or a fire has had time to take hold. Li-ion Tamer® detects off-gas from lithium-ion batteries and ideal to be incorporated as part of an overall fire detection and fire suppression solution.

Recently our MD Graham Turner spoke to Digitalisation World editor to discuss more on this subject. You can view the video of this interview below.
