Why Direct Cell Access Is Not a Prerequisite for Stopping Thermal Runaway — What Our 120 kWh Live Fire Test Proves =================================================================================================================== There is a persistent belief in the EV fire protection sector that an effective suppression agent must have direct physical access to exposed battery cells to interrupt cell-to-cell thermal runaway propagation. It sounds logical on paper. However, i

Lessons from the 2009 Indianapolis 500 Ethanol-fuelled fires behave fundamentally differently from conventional hydrocarbon fires. A widely referenced incident from the 2009 Indianapolis 500 provides a rare real-world demonstration of how these fires develop — and how quickly they must be controlled.
