Firefighting

Traditional firefighting methods struggle with lithium-ion battery fires, especially when it comes to e-bike batteries. F-500 EA® is designed to extinguish fires faster and with less water, stopping thermal runaway and preventing re-ignition.

Fire Protection

As e-bike use continues to rise, the risks associated with their battery fires are becoming more apparent. With F-500 EA®, we help mitigate these risks with technology that targets not just the flames but also the toxic off-gases and thermal runaway.

Third-Party Tested

Fire Suppression for Battery-Powered Devices and Equipment

F-500 EA® has undergone extensive third-party testing to prove its effectiveness against lithium ion battery fires. From consumer electronics to electric bike batteries, our product offers the most reliable solution for tackling battery fires. The unique properties of F-500 EA® are backed by over 15 years of rigorous testing, validating its ability to prevent further combustion and control volatile fires.

F-500 EA® Testing Chronology
Flammability

F-500 EA® encapsulates the volatile electrolytes within the ebike battery, stopping the thermal runaway process and preventing the fire from spreading.

Explosivity

F-500 EA® neutralizes the hazardous gases released by burning batteries, effectively reducing the risk of explosions.

Toxicity

F-500 EA® significantly reduces the exposure to dangerous emissions, providing a safer environment for both first responders and those in the vicinity.

Protecting Firefighters

Prepare Your Department for E-Bike and Scooter Fires

E-bike fires require a response that accounts for thermal runaway and the possibility of explosive off-gases. Traditional methods such as water alone are inefficient and can lead to dangerous burns, further escalating the situation. F-500 EA® offers a safer, more efficient alternative. By encapsulating the fire at a molecular level, F-500 EA® rapidly cools the fire, stopping the spread of the flame and reducing toxic exposure to harmful gases. First responders benefit from a more manageable fire suppression solution that reduces hazardous vapor exposure and protects against further re-ignition.

Protect E-Bike Charging Stations and Retail Locations

Electric bikes and scooters are increasingly used in urban areas, and with that comes the need for proper fire protection in charging stations and retail locations. Fires in these locations, especially involving low-quality batteries or faulty battery packs, can quickly escalate, causing damage to property and threatening lives. F-500 EA® can be integrated into charging stations, bike shops, and even warehouses storing large quantities of electric bikes. By using the Diamond Doser® system, F-500 EA® is delivered through water mist or sprinkler systems, ensuring that fires are extinguished quickly and without collateral damage. The system adjusts automatically to flow and pressure changes, ensuring optimal suppression in case of an incident.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional firefighting methods are often ineffective when dealing with e-bike fires, as these fires present unique challenges:

  • Extreme Temperatures: Lithium batteries burn significantly hotter than standard fires. The intense heat can cause nearby batteries to ignite, leading to chain reactions and the rapid spread of flames.
  • Explosive Hazards: As e-bike battery fires burn, they release toxic off-gases and can even explode, which increases the dangers for firefighters and those nearby.
  • Toxic Smoke: The fumes from burning lithium-ion batteries contain carcinogenic chemicals, which pose serious health risks for anyone in proximity to the fire.

E-bike and scooter fires are typically caused by thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. This can occur due to overcharging, manufacturing defects, bad quality batteries, incorrect charger use, or external damage to the battery pack.

Yes, F-500 EA® is ideal for bike shops, charging stations, and other facilities where e-bike and scooter batteries are commonly stored or charged. The system integrates easily into existing fire protection infrastructure.

Yes, the lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes and scooters can cause fires that burn at much higher temperatures and spread more quickly than traditional bike fires. The risk of explosion and toxic emissions is also higher.

Ensuring that only high-quality batteries are used, avoiding overcharging, and maintaining proper battery management systems are key to preventing fires. Additionally, using certified chargers and regular inspections of battery packs can reduce the risk.
