Braille Energy Systems Inc. Provides Update on EARLYALERT Lithium Battery Warning System

OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 7, 2024 / Braille Energy Systems Inc. (formerly Mincom Capital Inc.) (TSXV:BES) ("BESI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful validation of its EARLYALERT Lithium Battery Thermal Warning System by an independent third party, ChargeSafe.

Test results will be used to apply for a TM-1 technology approval with the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) for their charging cabinets, as part of a city initiative to provide secure and safe lithium battery charging stations in NYC for the growing electric micromobility (e-micromobility) market. Lithium battery fires in micromobility devices continue to be a significant issue in NYC (In New York City, some progress on lithium-ion safety | Bicycle Retailer and Industry News) due the popularity of e-bikes.

ChargeSafe (www.chargesafe.nyc) performed the test at the Morris County Fire Academy in Morristown, New Jersey earlier this summer. The test was conducted in a controlled environment that mimicked the effects of thermal runaway, the leading cause of catastrophic battery fires The EARLYALERT system provided early detection, shutting off the charging system and thereby limiting catastrophic damage.

"We couldn't ask for better validation of our EARLYALERT Lithium Battery Thermal Warning System, and we look forward to continued collaboration with our partners in NYC as well as other Urban Centers where e-mobility fires are an issue," said Lindsay Weatherdon, President and CEO of BESI. "In addition to ChargeSafe in NYC, we are also working with industrial partners testing EARLYALERT in various battery applications."
