Description

Why do Electric Cars with lithium-ion batteries pose a risk?

The central risk with lithium-ion batteries is fire. The batteries are unlikely to catch fire – but they can, through faults inside the battery, or from external damage. And when they do catch fire, the consequences can be serious.

What happens when a lithium-ion battery catches fire?

Once alight, lithium-ion battery fires are very hard to extinguish. Common fire suppressants don’t work and the fire can burn very fiercely. In some circumstances, the battery can explode. If you have a problem with one cell, it can start spreading.​This unstoppable fire is called “thermal runaway”. Water may assist with absorbing heat from some small fires, but it reacts dramatically with lithium – making it a bad decision to go directly on fires.​Lithium-ion fires also don’t burn cleanly, batteries can vent toxic gases into the surrounding area. It’s not always clear what these gases will be. For these reasons, some fire services have a code of not intervening in lithium-ion battery fires: they’re unlikely to suppress them because the risk to firefighters is too high.​Instead, they wait for the reaction to finish, and protect the surrounding environment.

How it works

Cover the Car Fire Isolator Blanket over the burning vehicle. This immediately isolates the flames and fumes. As a result, the fire will soon be controlled due to lack of oxygen. The lithium-ion batteries will continue to burn even without oxygen in electric vehicles. It is advised to leave the fire blanket on when transporting electric vehicles on a recovery truck.

Important Tips

Use the fire blanket for ICE vehicles:
• Extinguish car fire by depriving oxygen supply
• Immediately isolate fire
• Prevent smoke from spreading
The most efficient solution for isolating fires in Electric Vehicles
Keep the fire blanket on for at least 20 minutes after the fire is covered.
Fire in electric vehicles:
If you can hear strong fuzz sound about every 2-15 seconds, you have a thermal
runaway. Leave the fire blanket on until the sound stops.
Thermal runaway is a small fire that goes from cell to cell. The fire blanket will
prevent the small fire from spreading elsewhere in the car and to surrounding assets
