Lithium-Ion Battery Risks

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high energy density, efficiency, and relatively long lifespan. However, like any technology, they come with certain risks that need to be managed and mitigated. Here are some key risks associated with the usage of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles:
CONTROL UNIT

The control unit serves as the brain of the fire suppression system. It monitors various parameters and conditions related to the battery, such as temperature, voltage, and current. It receives signals from the thermal detector and makes decisions based on the data to activate the aerosol extinguisher and the pyrotechnic cable cutter when needed.

EXTINGUISHER

The aerosol extinguisher is a crucial component responsible for releasing an aerosol-based fire suppressant. When activated by the control unit, the aerosol extinguisher dispenses a fine aerosol mist that suppresses and extinguishes the fire by interrupting the chemical reactions necessary for combustion.

PYRO CABLE CUTTER

Elevate electric vehicle safety with the GDS Pyrocutter System. Engineered for rapid cable disconnection in critical short-circuit scenarios, this pyrotechnic-based system responds in under 7 milliseconds. A vital component for ensuring life-saving measures in electric vehicle emergencies.

THERMAL DETECTOR

The thermal detector is a vital safety device that continuously monitors the temperature within the battery compartment or the surrounding environment. It provides critical information to the control unit, detecting abnormal temperature rises or potentially dangerous heat levels that could indicate a fire risk.
