Battery Control Europe BVThanks to our in-house developed reproducible practical-oriented test method, we test a lithium ion battery fire in a WorstCase situation where the battery is the cause of the fire. A battery test from the inside-out!Thanks to this test method, BCE has created specific know-how. Two safety products are now ready, with the our goal of charging the e-bike battery safely without supervision.When a spontaneous combustion (thermal runaway) occurs, there wille be explosions in the battery cells, causing a huge temperature which rises up to 1100 C.What is a lithium-ion battery?E-bikes, smartphones, laptops, electric cars, all of these devices are equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This battery is variously used, but the this is not without any risks. A chain reaction, also known as a 'thermal runaway', can occur due to falls or impacts of the battery, age, moisture or production errors, resulting in large bursts of flames and even explosions. The toxic fumes that are released make things worse. These gases are highly explosive, corrosive and very harmful to health.
