A Fireproof Casing which REALLY Works!
Scared of battery fires? I know that we are!
This is why our Infinite Battery comes with a casing that we designed to resist the heat of a fire, thanks to it's thick aluminum casing, and a design which dissipates heat quickly.
And YES THIS WORKS! We have put a massive effort in making our casing sustain the battery fire, and extensively tested it (videos coming soon), so you can sleep safely (and us too!!). See our complete fireproof testing on our documentation/FAQ
- briansm 2y agoPrevention is better than cure though. plus you've got to consider cell gassing/venting/explosion risk/toxic fumes as well as fire prevention. If they were doing per-cell protection, fair enough (cheap 18650's don't have cell protection usually), but I think they are still connecting 4 cells in parallel, with only serial-bank MOSFET's like in usual sealed packs.

This is always my concern about fire-proof metal casings for batteries: where do you put that so it doesn't set anything on fire?
