October 30, 2024 - CellBlock’s Lithium Ion Battery Incident Kit (LIBIK) offers a full line of battery fire suppression tools that are versatile, simple and effective as a solution to a wide variety of battery fire situations in personal electronic devices (PED).

Its unique effectiveness lies in the use of CellBlockEX, an innovative new mineral-based fire extinguishing agent composed of non-crystalline glass granulates that has been shown to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire in seconds without the use of water or halon. CellBlockEX also poses no health risk, and it does not have a measurable shelf life or environmental impact.

The LIBIK can be wall-mounted for fast deployment. Easy access to its contents makes it ideal for bike shops, laboratory environments, hospitals, schools, manufacturing settings and more.

The kit includes FireShield Blankets that can be used as a personal shield when approaching a compromised device, to handle a device that has been safely extinguished or to create a suppressive effect when used in and conjunction with PED-Pad pillows.

The PED-Pad pillows are filled with CellBlockEX and can be placed directly on the fire or overheating unit. Also in the kit are CellBlock High Heat Gloves that are designed to withstand temperatures beyond 2000°F. The kit also includes goggles.

In Canada, the cost is $1,350; contact the Canadian Electric Bicycle Association (CEBA), www. cebassociation.com. In the USA, it costs $965 US via Call2Recycle, www. call2recycle.com.
