Batt-Safe Prevented Thermal Runaway at a Hospital

Anastasia Lis · Oct 2, 2020 ·

A UPS Technician on the west coast was called out for an emergency battery issue. He was nice enough to share some data from a Batt-Safe module that detected and prevented Thermal Runaway at a Hospital in Nevada.  He was called for emergency service and upon arrival, he saw the open breaker and witnessed all of the LED’s flashing with an open breaker indicative of a thermal runaway disconnect.  

From the graph below the battery cabinet temperature was over 170° F. The UPS Technician said it seemed the disconnection took place within the last half-day/several hours prior to arrival as the room was extremely warm still and the batteries were registering around 90 degrees. 

He has replaced the batteries since then and there are no further issues. He shared and stressed that the Hospital was extremely thankful that the Batt-Safe prevented thermal runaway and a potential fire.

Batt-Safe Software Data

The graph below indicates battery temperature increase and string current over an 18 day period. The Batt-Safe software data can be accessed at any time by logging into the online interface.

Batt-Safe II is the only battery monitoring system certified by UL for the detection and prevention of thermal runaway. It helps you make efficient, informed decisions when addressing battery-related issues. It also allows all the critical information to be seen in real-time, helping you make the appropriate, corrective action with confidence.

C&C Power will install and test your desired battery monitoring system in any of our battery backup cabinets. Contact our support team with questions on installation, service, and preventative maintenance on any UPS battery replacement or battery cabinet system.
