An apparatus for a thermal runaway shield enclosure for Li-ion batteries comprising:
- a thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) case having rigid walls with openings on at least one side of the case;
- and
- a heat-resistant, permeable fabric configured to line interior walls of the TRS case, wherein at least one Li-ion battery is placed inside the TRS case.
A method for a thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) enclosure for storage of thermal runaway shielded battery packs comprising the steps:
- providing a thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) case having rigid walls with openings on at least one side of the case;
- lining interior walls of the TRS case with a heat-resistant, permeable fabric;
- and
- placing at least one thermal runaway shielded battery pack into the interior of TRS case.
The method of 13, wherein the TRS case and the heat-resistant, permeable fabric are made from Kevlar.
An apparatus for a thermal runaway shielded enclosure for a thermal runaway shielded Li-ion battery pack comprising:
- a thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) case having rigid walls with openings on at least one side of the case;
- a heat-resistant, permeable fabric configured to line interior walls of the TRS case, wherein at least one Li-ion battery is placed inside the TRS case;
- a rigid divider configured to separate an interior of the TRS enclosure into a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein the first compartment is configured to contain at least one thermal runaway shielded battery pack and the second compartment is configured to contain at least one other thermal runaway shielded battery pack;
- and
- at least two flexible TRS's configured to attach on each side of the rigid divider, wherein each flexible TRS includes a cavity to enclose elements for heat dissipation including water-based colored coolant.
