South 8 Technologies' LiGas® is paving the way for even greater Li-ion battery safety and performance. LiGas uses a liquefied gas electrolyte that creates a more stable class of advanced Li-ion batteries. LiGas has demonstrated a significant reduction in fire risk for Li-ion batteries when exposed to extreme temperatures or physical abuse as compared to traditional liquid electrolyte cells. Tests have shown that the rapid release of the LiGas electrolyte from inside battery cells significantly reduces the burn time of the Li-ion fuel from 6 minutes to 6 seconds – which is insufficient time for thermal propagation.
