Honeywell today announced that it has acquired the Li-ion Tamer business from Nexceris, a leader in off-gas detection technology for lithium-ion batteries that detects thermal runaway events. The acquisition enhances Honeywell’s portfolio of fire life safety technologies within its Building Automation segment and builds on its partnership with Nexceris over the past five years to strategically address lithium-ion battery system safety.
Battery safety solutions are critical for sectors ranging from renewable energy to cloud computing. Safe monitoring and early detection enable essential steps to avoid or reduce the effects of thermal runaway—without these solutions, an entire system can be lost once a fire begins in an energy storage system.
Li-ion Tamer’s early warning technology detects battery off-gassing, which typically precedes thermal runaway, providing facilities with vital time to intervene before a battery fire starts. With its detection technology that provides a warning up to 30 minutes in advance, Li-ion Tamer is trusted by battery OEMs worldwide.
“As lithium-ion battery use grows rapidly across data centers, EV infrastructure, and grid-scale energy storage, the risk of fire is increasing in parallel,” said Billal Hammoud, President and CEO of Honeywell’s Building Automation segment. “Li-ion Tamer’s early warning technology has been revolutionary for our customers and partners over the last five years. Building on our legacy partnership, the acquisition of this product suite will position Honeywell as a leader in early gas detection and battery fire prevention.”
The Li-ion Tamer product portfolio includes more than 30 global patents.
