Lithium Ion Battery Thermal Runaway Safety Kit for Aircraft (24” W x 18″ H)

A lithium-ion battery thermal runaway in flight poses a serious and immediate threat to aircraft safety. This phenomenon occurs when a battery cell overheats—often due to damage, overcharging, or manufacturing defects—triggering a self-sustaining chain reaction that rapidly escalates into fire, smoke, and potentially explosion. In the confined environment of an aircraft cabin, such an event can release toxic gases like hydrogen fluoride and carbon monoxide, impair visibility, and incapacitate crew or passengers if not swiftly contained. The intense heat—sometimes exceeding 1,300°F—can ignite nearby materials, while molten debris from the battery may cause severe burns or secondary fires. With modern flights carrying hundreds of lithium-powered devices, the risk is ever-present, making proper containment equipment and crew training not just advisable, but essential for inflight safety.

A Thermal Runaway Safety Kit is a vital onboard asset designed to contain and suppress these incidents swiftly and effectively.

🛡️ Key Features:

• Fire-resistant containment bag engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and pressure from battery fires
• High-heat gloves and fire blankets for safe handling and isolation of overheating devices
• Smoke and gas absorption materials to mitigate toxic emissions during containment
• Compact, stowable design suitable for both cabin and flight deck environments
