🔥 Understanding Thermal Runaway in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries power much of our modern world — from e-scooters and e-bikes to laptops, power tools, and even cars. But these powerful batteries carry a hidden risk: thermal runaway.

What is Thermal Runaway?Thermal runaway is a chain reaction that occurs inside a lithium-ion battery when it overheats, becomes unstable, and begins releasing flammable electrolytes and toxic gases. Once this process begins, the battery can ignite or explode within seconds.

Key warning signs of thermal runaway include:

  • Release of electrolyte vapors and gases (before visible smoke or flame)

  • Rapid rise in temperature

  • Audible hissing or popping sounds

  • Swelling or bulging of the battery casing

When ignition happens, the fire is extremely fast, furious, and difficult to extinguish — capable of causing catastrophic property damage and endangering lives.


🚨 Introducing IONSNIFF – Early Detection of Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

IONSNIFF is a breakthrough safety technology designed to detect thermal runaway before a fire or explosion occurs.

Using advanced chemical sensors, IONSNIFF monitors the environment for the specific electrolytes and gases released by overheating lithium-ion batteries. When these early emissions are detected, IONSNIFF provides immediate alerts — giving homeowners, business operators, or device owners crucial time to respond before disaster strikes.
