Chemstore BSK-1 & PyroBubbles Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Test

Genius Group conducted a test of how a lithium-ion battery on fire affects Chemstore’s BSK-1 lithium-ion battery storage, charging and transport case. You can also see the PyroBubbles in action. These are pouches of extinguishing beads that melt and oxygen starve a potential battery fire.

How do the PyroBubbles work?

1. The user first inserts a pouch of the PyroBubble beads into the BSK-1 Fire Protection Case at the bottom.
2. Then the user places the lithium-ion battery on top of this pouch with the charging cable pulled through the cable hole.
3. The user fills all remaining space with PyroBubble pouches.
4. Close the cover down, close the latch and push the locking tab down.

The extinguishant PyroBubbles can be used exceptionally well in preventive fire protection, particularly for filling cavities and hollows, cable trays and installation shafts (horizontal and vertical), where it can be used in bulk material form. A completely uncomplicated fire protection upgrade in the area F 90 can be implemented at any time, both for existing buildings and new facilities.

The amount of time required and the amount of material necessary to reach the required level of protection can be considered very economical. The ongoing maintenance costs for such cable facility coverages amount to almost zero. Subsequent covering of cables is also safely and quickly possible at a later date.
