EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM FOR EV BATTERIES
The Rosenbauer BEST is an extinguishing system for high-voltage lithium ion
batteries in electric vehicles. Tried and tested since 2018, it is the safest, most
efficient, and fastest extinguishing option on the market to cool batteries and
quickly stop thermal runaways.
With its easy positioning and approach, the operator is a safe 25’ away from
the EV when activating the system. The piercing stinger penetrates the battery
housing, flooding it with water at 8 gallons per minute. A proven reduction in
water, compared to the alternative of a surround and drown method, which
has shown the need of 6,000 – 8,000 gallons of water being required for an
equivalent outcome.
With as little as 500 gallons of water, the Rosenbauer BEST can extinguish a
vehicle battery fire.
SAFE: Firefighters only spend a short period of time in the direct vicinity of the electric vehicle to be extinguished. The BEST is fired from a safe distance of 25 feet away.
EFFICIENT: Extinguishing the fire is time and resource efficient. Traditional methods may take hours and thousands of gallons of water. With the BEST, a single engine can extinguish the electric vehicle battery fire within the hour.
FAST: Firing in 8 milliseconds, the piercing tool can penetrate all currently known battery housings.
