Around the Clock Protection from Battery Thermal Runaway

IntelliBatt's Solution predicts, pre-empts and furthers compliance with new ICC regulations

Widespread adoption of new international fire code regulations* to combat thermal runaway means that all VRLA battery systems must be equipped with a device to detect and preclude it.

Battery thermal runaway is a continuous cycle of ever-increasing internal heat, ultimately resulting in serious incidence of battery meltdown or fire. Avoid significant downtime and or potential loss of life by protecting your systems.

While some devices only measure ambient or string temperature and current, IntelliBatt's unique monitoring system measures:

  • Ambient and individual battery/cell-level temperature
  • Current
  • Battery/cell level impedance

What is Battery Thermal Runaway?
Thermal runaway occurs when an exothermic reaction goes out of control, possibly resulting in an explosion.

Thermal runaway occurs when the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further increase in the reaction rate.
