MUMBAI: Electric vehicle fires are raising concerns about their safety . On March 26, 2022, a brand-new blue electric scooter parked on the side of the road caught fire in Pune. Another incident was in the early hours of March 26, 2022, where a father and daughter perished in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, after their electric scooter caught fire. On March 30, another electric scooter caught fire in Chennai.

Battery manufactures in India are trying hard to solve this burning issue of lithium-ion battery fires. The government probe also looked into fire incidents involving scooters built by Indian start-ups. Due to the above incidences, the government is enforcing provision of a safety mechanism, usage of fire protection products, changes in testing standards for batteries, battery management and cells due to growing concerns about safety issues as a result of previous fire occurrences.

This has raised serious concerns on the survival of the lithium-ion battery industry. To tackle this, Bharati Fire Engineers has introduced its latest innovation called Firefite Lithex (http://bharatifire.com/Firefite_LithEx.php ) which is all set to revolutionise the meaning of battery fire safety.

Firefite Lithex extinguisher, which has received BIS approval (ISI mark), is made specifically to put out battery fires. It employs a new, ground-breaking technology (in collaboration with AVD, UK) called aqueous vermiculite dispersion (AVD), a fire extinguishing solution that uses both fixed and mobile delivery methods to successfully put out lithium-ion battery fires.

Under the Make In India policy, Bharati Fire Engineers is manufacturing the product in India after a UK-based corporation patented it. It has a strong, demonstrated effect on lithium-ion battery fires. It effectively puts out fires caused by flammable metals while also being environmentally friendly because it is formed of natural minerals.

It is also the first company to receive ISO certification and produces more than 1,00,000 extinguishers monthly. With an in-house R&D facility, the company is currently in partnerships with international innovators to provide specialised technologies. (ANI/PRNewswire)
