Honeywell – BESL-20200-000 Battery Safety Electrolyte Detector - Board Mount Version. Operating temperature range -20°C to 70°C. 5V supply voltage. Three-State Analog output.

Part of Honeywell's BES LITE Series Battery Safety Electrolyte Sensor range. Distributor InventoryBES LITE, the Battery Safety Electrolyte Detector, is designed to detect gases that are typically released during the initial phase of thermal runaway as well as throughout the entire thermal runaway process. This advanced detection capability facilitates the prompt identification of imminent dangers or risks, significantly enhancing safety measures in critical situations. Therefore, the sensor allows for proactive responses that can prevent loss of assets and protection of lives.Early detection may vary based on factors such as the nature of cell abuse and its severity, state of charge, and other variables. BES LITE allows compliance with international regulations and guidance by providing a deterministic detection of thermal runaway events.

DIFFERENTIATION•

Early Thermal Runaway Detection: BES LITE is designed to detect gases commonly released during the initial phase of lithium-ion battery cell breakdown. This early detection allows for the timely implementation of safety mitigation actions, ensuring that appropriate measures can be taken to address potential hazards before they escalate

• Selective response to battery electrolyte vapor: BES LITE’s selective response to battery electrolyte vapor significantly reduces the risk of false alarms, making it ideal for use in environments where interference gases may be present

• Efficient & safe design: BES LITE employs simple electronics for easy integration and minimal power consumption. Unlike other gas sensing technologies, it operates without an internal heating element, making it ideal for explosion-proof environments and applications requiring extended battery life

• Agnostic to Li-Ion chemistry & battery type: Works with various Li-ion battery types including prismatic, pouch & cylindrical, as well as different chemistries such as NMC, LFP, LTO, and more.

VALUE TO CUSTOMERS

• Enhanced asset protection: Battery electrolyte vapor detection enables early detection of thermal events, allowing enhanced asset protection

• Selective detection: Detects only electrolyte vapor. The selective response and high sensitivity to electrolyte vapor allows for the mitigation of false alarms

• Reliability in critical environments: Resistant to cross-gas interference & siloxane poisoning, ensuring reliable performance across demanding environments

• Ease of installation: The low-profile construction and mounting flanges (flange-mount version) or mounting pins (board-mount version) enable installation even in tight spaces. The 3-state output simplifies integration

APPLICATIONSSealed and portable lithium-ion battery modules used in • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)• UAM/UAV• Micro-mobility• Medical devices• Light industrial goods
