Li-ion Tamer GEN 3


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 is designed to be easy to install and configure, consisting of several components: (i) sensors, (ii) hub, (iii) power switch, (iv) network switch, (v) controller.
  • Early warning of lithium-ion battery failures - enable thermal runaway prevention with proper mitigating actions
  • Single cell failure detection without mechanical or electrical contact to the cells
  • Scalable deployment for cost effective protection of a wide range of battery storage systems
  • Temperature and humidity monitoring at each sensing node
  • Extended product lifetime
  • Calibration-free product with highly reliable output signal
