Li-ion Tamer - Model PN 241032 - Lithium Ion Battery Rack Monitoring System

The Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitor is a low-power and compact device that monitors lithium-ion batteries for increased safety. The Rack Monitor consists of three primary components, (1) The Li-ion Tamer Controller, (2) The Li-ion Tamer Off-Gas Monitors, and (3) the cables for connecting the sensors to the controller, controller to power, and signal distribution.

The Off-Gas Monitors are to be installed near or at the battery rack and are aggregated at the Controller which also distributes power to the monitors. The Controller contains proprietary logic to diagnose when and where single-cell offgas events have happened. Off-gas events occur early in the failure mode of lithium-ion batteries and awareness as to when off-gas events occur provides a very early warning of failures and enables prevention of these failures with proper mitigation.

• Early warning of lithium-ion battery failures
• Enable thermal runaway prevention with proper mitigation actions
• Single cell failure detection without electrical or mechanical contact of cells
• Extended product lifetime
• Calibration-free product
• Highly reliable output signal
• Low power consumption
• Compatible with all lithium-ion battery form factors and chemistries
• Easy installation
• Independent and redundant perspective on battery health
• Auto diagnostic capabilities
• Reduction/removal of false positive signals
• Several configurable communication protocols including digital outputs and serial communication

The Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitoring system is designed to be compatible with a lithium-ion battery system, including environmental specifications and target lifetime. The lifetime of the Li-ion Tamer product has been validated through accelerated lifetime testing to validate the system’s life is comparable to a typical lithium-ion battery system.
