No ordinary fire blanket for lithium-ion batteries

LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket

Sept 17, 2024

For many types of isolated fires, smothering is an effective suppression technique, except if a lithium-ion battery is burning. Then, a LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket from Sea-Fire Marine is what’s needed. The product is specifically engineered to withstand extremely high temperatures for prolonged periods as well as contain expelled debris and shrapnel commonly encountered with lithium-ion battery fires. 

The LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is incapable of igniting. Independently tested and verified for prolonged direct flame contact and use at temperatures up to 2,552° F. Reusable, it’s ideal for refractory flame deflection and suppressing multiple lithium-ion battery fires.

Foldable and easy to store, the LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is manufactured using a fully oxidized woven fabric with a high silica glass fiber content. Integrated handling loops make the device simple to deploy. A video demonstrating the material is at ww.bit.ly/BlanketBurnTrial.

Sea-Fire’s LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is offered in four sizes: SB06 is 6′ x 6′, SB09 is 9′ x 9′, SB12 is 12′ x 12′ and, ideal for electric vehicle fires, SBEV is 19′ x 26′. Each includes a storage carry bag. Prices start at $1,199.99 USD. For handheld lithium-ion-powered device fires, Sea-Fire offers a range of SK Series Fire Safety Kits.

LiCELL is a fire protection technologies company specializing in lithium battery fire solutions. Sea-Fire Marine, under license and agreement with LiCELL, supplies the marine market.

Good Advice that You Can Share – The Art of Anchoring  

Unless a boat is secured, it will drift away. If it cannot be attached to something secure, such as a dock, piling, mooring buoy, tree, or boulder, it must be anchored. There is much more to anchoring than simply tossing the anchor over the side. 
 
An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
