Lithium Risk
Containment

From series production to fully custom engineering.

Lithium battery failures have serious consequences for health and safety, operational uptime, and recovery time. Yet this risk is often underestimated and not fully understood.

What makes lithium incidents so dangerous?

  • Thermal runaway spreads extremely fast
  • Flammable gases are released before ignition
  • Conventional fire systems react too late
  • Operational downtime can be severe

Intelligent containment solutions for every environment

Schneider Containment develops integrated safety systems specifically designed for lithium battery installations. Instead of combining separate safety components, Schneider systems integrate detection, suppression and containment into one engineered structure.

 

This approach ensures incidents are detected early and isolated before they can spread to surrounding infrastructure.

The gold standard for lithium safety

Every Schneider containment system follows the same engineered safety philosophy. Four safety layers work together to detect early failure signals and control escalation.

01 Detect

Early detection is essential when dealing with lithium battery failures. Schneider systems continuously monitor off-gas formation, temperature changes and pressure build-up, allowing early signs of thermal runaway to be identified before ignition occurs. This enables the system to respond automatically while the incident is still controllable.

02 Intervene

Once early indicators of failure are detected, the system immediately initiates automated countermeasures. Active ventilation, rapid port closure and precision-controlled airflow are deployed to stabilize the environment and prevent escalation. By intervening at the earliest stage, the system stops thermal runaway from developing further, maintaining control over the situation.

03 Contain

In the event that a battery failure progresses, the Schneider Containment system ensures that all hazards remain securely contained within the enclosure. The explosion-proof housing, fire-resistant materials and dual pressure relief valves manage pressure build-up and prevent structural compromise. Harmful gases, flames and debris are confined, protecting the surrounding environment from impact.

04 Protect

The final layer focuses on safeguarding people, assets and operations. Integrated suppression using certified gel technology neutralizes remaining threats, while filtration systems reduce the release of hazardous substances. Combined with alarms, monitoring and backup power, the system ensures continuous protection—even during power loss—delivering complete peace of mind in critical environments.

Engineered containment platforms

Schneider develops scalable containment platforms that can be deployed across multiple industries. Each platform is based on the same safety architecture but designed for different environments.
