Battery containment products are frequently mentioned as a solution to thermal runaway incidents on aircraft. However, not all containment products, such as insulated bags or boxes, are created equally and can actually isolate a device in thermal runaway. Products that conform to UL 5800, our standard for battery containment products, undergo rigorous testing with actual lithium-ion cells driven into thermal runaway, to ensure they can contain and mitigate flames, shrapnel, and visible smoke for up to six hours. ULSE’s Director of TRIP, David Wroth, recently penned an article on why battery containment products matter and why passenger education is the first step to safer skies.
