Description
The Li-ion Tamer GEN 3 is a device that detects the venting of battery electrolyte solvent vapours (off-gassing phase) that occurs early in the failure mode of lithium-ion batteries (LIB). The early detection of this event allows proper mitigation steps to be taken to avoid a catastrophic thermal runaway failure. The Li-ion Tamer GEN 3 system requires minimal operation and maintenance procedures as the sensors are calibration-free and have comparable lifetime to that of the ESS battery system. The gas sensors response can be easily verified with a simple test. To confirm operation, sensors can be activated with a bottle of battery off-gassing compounds (Diethyl Carbonate, DEC) which is supplied by Xtralis.
