I did a CEU course yesterday by a division of Honeywell regarding various fire detection systems. They have a method early detection of Lithium Ion battery fires using a detector that detects the electrolyte offgassing that inevitably occurs before the battery goes into self destruction. They had a lot of third party testing that showed that it responses quite quickly in time to avoid a runaway batter. It unfortunately does not save the battery as the electolyte has already started off gassing but it catches an event before its major damage to the surroundings. They call the product the Li-on Tamer> My experience with Honeywell over the years is the suff is never cheap but good to see there is some tech out there for big batteries.
