  • Patent number: 7428911
    Abstract: A battery spill containment system and method are provided for containing a hazardous spilled substance from at least one industrial battery in service as a back-up power supply.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 30, 2008
    Assignee: Expo Power Systems, Inc.
    Inventor: Douglas Frazier
  • Publication number: 20070181576
    Abstract: A system and method are provided including a containment system for containing leaks or spills from at least one battery. Further provided is a liner formed in the containment system. Such liner is formed of a material capable of being applied to the containment system in a liquid form, whereafter the material solidifies for containing the leaks or spills from at least one battery.

  • Patent number: 7124771
    Abstract: A spill containment system and method that contain leaks and spills from devices including but not limited to batteries. The system neutralizes and absorbs leaks and spills to prevent the leaks and spills from spreading. The system not only detects leaks, but also indicates whether a leak has occurred. The system can communicate with personnel or devices to raise an alarm or cause corrective measures to occur.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6901946
    Abstract: A battery spill containment system and method that contain leaks and spills from batteries. The system neutralizes and absorbs leaks and spills to prevent the spills from spreading. The system may have rails that are readily removable to permit access to batteries and to allow more batteries to be stored in a given vertical space. Another system is comprised of modular pans that are connected to each other to form a larger spill containment system.

The system neutralizes and absorbs leaks and spills to prevent the leaks and spills from spreading. The system not only detects leaks, but also indicates whether a leak has occurred. The system can communicate with personnel or devices to raise an alarm or cause corrective measures to occur. The spill containment system includes a battery rack inside a battery rack cabinet having a door. To open the door and gain access to the batteries, one of the rigid containment rails is removed such that the exposed flexible corrosion-resistant liner may be flexed to permit the opening and closing of the door.
