In the wake of recent lithium battery fires at Suncycle, a leading solar and storage service company in Germany’s Thuringia state, FelicityESS has announced the enhancement of its LUX series lithium batteries with an innovative fire suppression technology. This latest addition underscores the company’s commitment to safety and preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future.
On August 11, Suncycle experienced its third battery fire in two months, highlighting the importance of robust safety measures in battery storage systems. Police suspect a technical defect as the cause of these fires, which have resulted in significant damage and even injuries to employees. In contrast, FelicityESS’s LUX series batteries are equipped with a built-in fire suppression module that automatically activates in case of an emergency, preventing fire outbreaks and minimizing potential damage.
“At FelicityESS, we recognize the critical role of safety in our products.” “Our LUX series batteries feature an advanced fire suppression system that utilizes a fast-acting aerosol release mechanism. This technology instantly neutralizes potential ignition sources, ensuring that even in the most unforeseen circumstances, our batteries remain safe and secure.”
The integrated fire suppression module within the LUX series batteries works by detecting abnormal heat or smoke levels. Upon detection, it immediately releases a non-toxic, environmentally friendly aerosol that cools the battery cells and inhibits combustion, effectively preventing the spread of fire. This feature not only protects the batteries themselves but also minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding structures and personnel.
The recent fires at Suncycle have emphasized the need for robust fire safety measures in battery storage facilities. The third incident, while affecting only a group of batteries, still resulted in smoke inhalation injuries to an employee and an estimated 30,000 euros in damage. FelicityESS’s LUX series batteries with their integrated fire suppression module aim to eliminate such risks, providing customers with peace of mind and a safer, more reliable energy storage solution.
“With our LUX series batteries, we are confident that we are offering the market’s most advanced and safest lithium-ion batteries,” added the spokesperson. “We believe that our commitment to safety and innovation sets us apart and enables us to contribute positively to the growth and sustainability of the renewable energy sector.”
As the industry continues to evolve, FelicityESS remains at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of battery safety and performance. The introduction of the fire suppression module in the LUX series batteries is just one example of the company’s ongoing efforts to ensure that its products meet the highest safety standards, protecting customers, employees, and the environment alike.
