BATTERY DESTROYERS CLUB

There was a moment when the topic of lithium-ion battery response burst onto the hazmat scene, quickly becoming a dominant subject. Along with its rise came a plethora of myths and unproven methods. We decided it was crucial to sift through the noise, testing various “theories” and “best practices” to uncover the truth.Here, you’ll find conversations with experts involved in those tests and their discoveries. Our commitment remains strong: to deliver the facts, steering clear of the sales pitch.

PRODUCTS WE’LL VOUCH FOR

Check out some of our favorite battery-response solutions. If they sucked, we wouldn’t bother to mention them. 

TRF: Thermal Runaway Fluid

The only certified solution to stop thermal runaway

Thermal Runaway Fluid (TRF), offered by Fire Suppression Solutions, is a breakthrough solution for combating lithium-ion battery fires. Designed to remove heat, prevent thermal runaway, and stop re-ignition, TRF delivers unmatched protection through its dual-action molecular technology.

Using EndoShield Cooling Technology, TRF triggers an endothermic reaction that absorbs extreme heat, acting as a super coolant to rapidly lower temperatures and prevent runaway conditions from spreading. At the same time, Exo-Suppression Fire Control works at the molecular level to disrupt oxygen availability, cutting off the fire’s ability to reignite. Fluorine-free and environmentally responsible, TRF meets global safety standards while minimizing environmental impact.

With rapid cooling power and proven reliability, TRF is the trusted choice for industries nationwide facing the growing risks of lithium-ion battery fires.

Obexion FR

Proven to Lower Toxic Gases Below IDLH Levels

Inspired by conversations with The Haz Mat Guys (former FDNY Hazmat 1 First Responders who have seen it all), Obexion FR is a lightweight, mobile-friendly solution that not only prevents thermal runaway, but has also been third-party tested and proven to lower toxic gases below IDLH levels.

Lithium batteries will be in a stable state once packed in Obexion FR material — so they can be safely transported and shipped. Obexion FR works quickly; in most cases, the Obexion FR System has been shown to mitigate thermal runaway (until there’s no detection of heat) within 30 minutes or less.
