The Lithium Safety Store™ boasts four early warning signals and has an in-built temperature sensor, which connects to mobiles, sends alerts by SMS text, email, and via the App on Android or iOS, as the first early warning.
This feature means the yacht captain and up to 10 people can be alerted to any fire, even while not on board and manage the situation without the loss of a vessel.
Adding a SIM card as a back-up, the Lithium Safety Store™ will send a text message as a second warning before a 100-decibel alarm sounds with a temperature-activated flashing red light.
The Safety Store is constructed with a 1-inch-thick Kevlar inner liner and specially formulated UL 94VO-rated insulation to contain heat of up to 2500°F.
UL 94VO inner core keeps the exterior heat to below 100°C even whilst the inner temperature is over 1,000°C. It is also the highest-rated level of flame resistance and means the material will self-extinguish in less than 10 seconds once the flame extinguishes.
The Kevlar inner shell contains the explosions that happen once lithium-ion thermal runaway commences. There can be over 100 powerful explosions if one e-foil battery spontaneously combusts.
The stackable Safety Store can be handed with protective gloves when an internal fire is underway, allowing for quick movement or disposal.
Available in three sizes, for holding and charging smaller items such as banks of walkie-talkies, VHF radios, PDA/laptops, torches, and drone batteries in the crews mess or bridge; or larger lithium batteries found in handheld power tools, iAQUA and SEABOB sea scooters, larger e-foil, and e-board removable batteries, and even e-bike batteries, or whole dock scooters.
They are also fully certified to contain other hazardous and flammable materials such as flares, gas canisters/bottles, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
With polished 316 stainless steel fittings, a lifetime warranty, and boasting a weatherproof high-gloss fibreglass outer casing, the Safety Store is designed to give protection for years, and look smart. It can be painted in bespoke colours.
