  • Detector for early detection of battery fire and/or an overheated condition in a battery
    Patent number: 11876246
    Abstract: A fire and/or overheated condition detector for a lithium ion battery is provided. The fire and/or overheated condition detector includes a chamber defining a detection space fluidly communicative with an interior of the lithium ion battery, a temperature sensor operably disposed proximate to the detection space, gas detection assemblies configured to detect gases through absorption in the detection space and a smoke detection assembly configured to detect particle scattering in the detection space to discriminate smoke particles from nuisance particles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2024
    Assignee: KIDDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
    Inventors: Stefan Coreth, Terry Simpson, Amanda J. Daly, Sandip Dhanani

  • Lithium ion battery protection system
    Patent number: 11276891
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for protection of a lithium ion battery. The system includes a first light source and a first optical guide including first and second ends. The first optical guide is in optical communication with the light source at the first end of the first optical guide. A first material is disposed on an exterior surface of the first optical guide in fluid communication with an exterior surface of the lithium ion battery. The first material is optically responsive to a first gas indicative of an overheat condition or combustion of the lithium ion battery. A first light detector is in optical communication with the second end of the first optical guide.
