Battery Safety Electrolyte Sensor (BES) LITE Series
Honeywell Sensing Solutions is launching an advanced lithium-ion battery safety sensor for use in EVs. The Battery Safety Electrolyte Sensor (BES) utilizes Li-ion Tamer™ electrolyte gas detection technology to detect “first vent” events, which are very early indicators of a potential battery fire. The indicators can issue a warning 5 to 20 minutes before a fire.
The BES solution can detect the gasses released by a failing battery cell before thermal runaway starts, serving as an early-warning device in an EV supervisory system. The technology enables operators to then take action to prevent the battery fire, potentially saving lives and avoiding significant property damage. The sensors also enable automobile manufacturers to comply with Global Technical Regulation No. 20 (Electric Vehicle Safety) and other emerging battery safety requirements.
