Lithium-ion Batteries

Fire Protection for the Next Generation of Energy Storage

Home, office, and commercial battery energy storage systems are being adopted at an unprecedented rate. As solar installations, grid support, EV charging, and backup power solutions expand globally, lithium-ion storage batteries are becoming a permanent fixture in residential and business environments. With this exponential growth comes a rapidly increasing — and often underestimated — fire risk.

Lithium-ion battery fires are fundamentally different from conventional electrical or structural fires. When a battery cell enters thermal runaway, temperatures can escalate within seconds, triggering a chain reaction that propagates from cell to cell. Once this process begins, traditional fire suppression methods such as water, sprinklers, or gaseous systems are often unable to contain the fire, allowing it to reignite repeatedly and escalate beyond control.

The consequences for homes and businesses can be devastating: complete property loss, prolonged displacement, damage to critical infrastructure, business interruption, and repair costs reaching hundreds of thousands — or more. As a result, insurers are increasingly raising premiums, imposing exclusions, or requiring additional risk mitigation for properties installing battery storage systems.

ENERGY-CYCLE’s solid-aerosol fire suppression technology provides a purpose-built solution designed specifically for battery energy storage risks.

Installed directly inside battery enclosures and cabinets, our compact, non-pressurised devices activate at the earliest stages of a fire. Upon activation, a fine solid aerosol is released, chemically interrupting combustion and preventing thermal runaway from propagating to adjacent cells. This internal, immediate suppression is critical — stopping the fire at its source before it can spread, reignite, or escalate.

Unlike external suppression systems that respond after significant damage has occurred, ENERGY-CYCLE systems work from within the battery unit itself, offering rapid, full-volume protection without flooding, pressurised gas release, or toxic residues.

Compact, maintenance-friendly, and environmentally responsible, ENERGY-CYCLE fire suppression systems help protect homes, businesses, and energy assets — while reducing insurance exposure, safeguarding occupants, and preserving long-term investment value.

This is fire protection engineered for the future of energy storage — where prevention, speed, and containment are everything.
