Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

The maximum temperature resistance of the blanket is 3200 degrees, and it can maintain this for 20 minutes. However, the aid of a fire hose will increase the surface temperature to 4000 degrees, with no noticeable decline after 45 minutes.

Each deployment of the EV fire blanket is going to require a unique approach. No two EV fires are the same. It's going to take training and best practices to figure out different scenarios of deployment depending on your application.

The shelf life of Li-Fire’s products is typically 5 years. However, blankets must be inspected every 2 years for any damage to the material. Be aware if blankets are exposed to frequent climate/weather changes this may shorten their shelf life.

The blanket is best kept in a dry place away from direct sunlight. It should be inspected every three years for creases and damage to the fibers.

The battery should stay contained within the blanket and monitored with a thermal imaging camera until the temperatures have reached a safe point.
