Firechief Premium Battery Fire Blankets are capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures in an oxidising atmosphere for a prolonged period of time as well as being robust enough to offer protection against potential debris and shrapnel expelled during a battery fire event. The Firechief Premium Battery Fire Blankets are manufactured using fire resistant technical fabrics based on the highest temperature resistant silica glass fibres. Flame deflection protection is added to these fibres as well as abrasion resistance utilising a variety of proprietry surface coatings. The non-flammable, vermiculite dispersion mineral-coated glass fabric is overlaid with a sacrificial protective silicone layer. Testing has been completed on exposed Lithium-ion batteries up to 840 Wh.

Heat/Fire Resistance Testing 1000 ° C 1200 ° C

PREMIUM BATTERY FIRE BLANKET - USER GUIDE

The Firechief Premium Battery Fire Blankets (“Blankets”) are specifically for Lithium-ion battery fires and we offer a range of sizes which include Blankets capable of covering a complete electric vehicle (EV). A Firechief Premium Fire Blanket is one of the most effective ways to bring a battery fire under control and once placed over the burning battery, for example an EV, it is designed to assist with: • Preventing the propagation of fire, • Containing the spread of smoke and toxic fumes, • Allowing for safe evacuation. The Premium Battery Fire Blankets are manufactured from technical fabrics which are designed to withstand extremely high temperatures over a prolonged period of time as well as being robust enough to assist with the containment of hot metallic fragments which may be expelled from the battery module during an incident.

APPLICATIONS SMALL & MEDIUM SIZE BLANKETS

From personal electronic equipment (mobile phones, tablets, computers), gardening and DIY tools to electric bikes (E- Bikes) and electric scooters (E-Scooters). LARGE SIZE BLANKETS Cars and forklift trucks and bulk handling equipment. AVAILABLE SIZES The blankets can be supplied in the following standard sizes: 1700 x 2000 mm | 2600 x 3300 mm | 6000 x 8000 mm Firechief Premium Battery Fire Blankets can be used in conjunction with Firechief Lith-Ex fire extinguishers.

The most effective method of utilising an Firechief Premium Battery Fire Blanket is to simply smother the flames in a fire, reducing the oxygen supply and preventing the fire from spreading. It should be noted that certain types of Lithium-ion battery generate their own oxygen during the process of thermal runaway and therefore the fires will be likely to continue to burn for an extended period of time. The Blanket may be folded to give a double layer if the battery cells are exposed and the battery size is significantly smaller than the Blanket. Anyone who might be required to use the Blanket should read and ensure they understand the information in the user guide which is supplied along with the Blanket and which can be downloaded from the Firechief Global website.

IN CASE OF FIRE 1. Have everyone evacuate the area immediately, 2. Call the fire brigade (or equivalent) even if the fire appears to be small - small fires quickly become LARGE fires, 3. Be aware that batteries can re-ignite, 4. It is for the user to assess the suitability of the Blanket for use on any given fire, 5. Large fires should be fought by professionals. Be prepared to leave the area if there is any doubt, 6. Do not throw a large Blanket over the fire.

PREMIUM BATTERY FIRE BLANKET - USER GUIDE

INSTALLATION AND STORAGE The Blanket should be stored in an easily accessible location The Blanket should then be returned to its original packaging. The number of times the Blanket should be re-used can only be judged on the basis of its condition after a fire has taken place. The final condition of the Blanket will depend on several factors including the intensity of the fire, the length of exposure to the flames and any physical abuse to which it may be subjected during the process of covering a fire and removal. Any damage to the Blanket including the coating, stitching, grab handles and/ or the base fabric, can only be assessed visually by those in attendance at the fire. This Blanket is not restricted to Lithium ion battery fires and may be used for traditional fire Blanket applications. RE-USE OF THE FIRE BLANKET After removal of the Blanket check to see if any significant damage has occurred such as degradation of the sacrificial coating or tears or rips in the body of the fabric. If there are any tears or rips in the fabric then it is advised that the Blanket be discarded and replaced. If the Blanket has only lost the sacrificial coating and the base fabric is exposed but undamaged then it is possible to re-use the Blanket. During a battery fire the Blanket will become coated with soot and some toxic chemicals, precautions should therefore be taken to ensure that the operator is protected from these potentially harmful chemicals during inspection and retrieval. The operator may decide that it is appropriate to clean the blanket; note that the water and any washing materials will become contaminated with the chemicals washed from the Blanket.

HOW TO USE THE FIRE BLANKET Only use the blanket if you feel confident to do so and

have the relevant training. 1. Fully unfold the Blanket.

2. Using the pull-loops provided, cautiously place the Blanket over the fire to smother it; ensure the Blanket covers the entire area of the battery pack or the device containing it. 3. Always be sure to shield yourself from the flames as you approach the fire, paying special attention to your hands as you carefully place the Blanket over the fire. 4. Try to minimise the number and size of the folds in order to minimize the oxygen intake under the Blanket. 5. For larger Blankets two or more people may be required to safely deploy it. It is recommended that one person on each side of the Blanket should take hold of the pull-loops and simultaneously drag the blanket over the fire ensuring the blanket is evenly placed directly over the flames or device. 6. Be aware that toxic fumes can be emitted by Lithium ion batteries even when they are not burning. 7. Once the blanket has been applied, move well away from the area. 8. For larger fires, including EV fires, always call the fire brigade, emergency services or local authorities to ascertain when the fire incident has ended and when the Blanket can be safely removed. 9. Contact the relevant authorities for the safe removal and disposal of the device.

in proximity to any known risk, preferably, for smaller blankets, wall mounted at eye level. It should be possible to rapidly deploy the Blanket at

the first sign of fire. The Blanket should

be inspected monthly (and inspection records

maintained) checking for any possible damage or access obstructions. The user guide should be located alongside the Blanket.
