Battery Testing Pack / Fire Protection - RMS

Product Description

The Battery Testing Package (BTP) from RMS is a fire protection system purpose-built for vibration and shock testing of lithium-ion batteries. Developed in cooperation with fire-protection specialist Minimax (patent pending), it lets test laboratories run demanding vibration and shock profiles on battery cells and packs while keeping personnel and equipment protected against thermal runaway events.

The system combines multi-channel detection with a non-corrosive, non-conductive cooling liquid and exhaust gas ventilation. Because the medium is non-water-based and needs no nitrogen, it is well suited to electronics-rich test environments. The BTP is rated for EUCAR Hazard Level 6 of 7, covering severe battery failure scenarios.

Key Features

• Fire protection optimised for vibration and shock testing of lithium-ion batteries
• EUCAR Hazard Level 6 of 7 rating
• Multi-channel detection system
• Non-corrosive, non-conductive, non-water-based cooling liquid; no nitrogen required
• Exhaust gas ventilation for battery fire events
• Flexible retrofit into existing buildings and infrastructure
• Easy removal after a fire incident
• Reduction of damage risk and protection of personnel

Models

• BTP1000 – full-scale system
• BTP-150 – 1/50 scale-down version used for proof of concept

Designed to integrate with electrodynamic shaker test setups, the BTP brings battery-safe fire protection to vibration and shock laboratories without requiring a new building, making it a practical upgrade for facilities expanding into lithium-ion battery testing.
