It can be worrisome when you hear about a battery fire. From laptops to hoverboards, batteries can be the culprit behind dangerous fires and explosions, so it is each manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure their batteries are as safe as possible. One company has raised the bar when it comes to designing batteries to prevent fires.
The company is Arizona-based Fluidic Energy, and their goal is nothing short of fire elimination with their batteries. Fluidic Energy’s batteries are designed to provide exponentially higher safety, stability, and reliability while also being environmentally friendly. Fluidic Energy also produces batteries that are cost-competitive and have reliable energy after repeated recharge cycles.
To help accomplish their lofty goal, Fluidic Energy employs a variety of latest technologies: their batteries use a combination of ceramic, non-flammable electrolyte, and non-volatile components to inhibit fire and explosions. Fluidic Energy has gone above and beyond in their design processes, allowing them to reduce flammability of materials. In addition, the company has built safeguards around their products to prevent leakage and overheating of the cells, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Fluidic Energy batteries have gone through rigorous tests, earning the company UL (Underwriters Laboratories) safety certifications. UL certifications are an internationally recognized standard for safety and fire protection, and are required for all kinds of consumer products. Arizona-based Fluidic Energy has also taken the extra precaution of conducting their own tests to ensure their batteries are as safe as possible.
Fluidic Energy is investing heavily in battery safety with their R&D, assembling a team of quantitative researchers, experimenters, and programmers for the cause. Their batteries are being tested and issued in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe, and the goal of Fluidic Energy is to make batteries both universally accessible and universally safe.
The fight to prevent battery fires is an ongoing one, but it is sure comforting to know that companies like Fluidic Energy exist that are doing their part. Battery safety is top priority at Fluidic Energy, and that can only be a great thing for the consumer.
