SBS detects critical chemicals released from lithium-ion batteries, during various stages of battery malfunction, before a thermal runaway (smoke or fire) is initiated. Or smoke during various stages of battery failure.

SBS has a purpose built, patent pending, sensor and chemical analysis algorithm used to collect and detect key chemical compounds.

The device is sensitive to broad range of eluents and oxidative compounds but primarily relies on detection of common electrolyte components such as EC (ethylene carbonate) and DMC (dimethylcarbonate).

Only one SBS device is needed battery storage area. Multiple SBS devices can be connected to increase sensor accuracy within large storage areas.

SBS devices have a built in validation test.

Diameter 13cm and height 5cm.

c. 300g

-20ºC to 40ºC. Humidity range: 5% RH to 90% RH (non condensing).

Yes. SBS uses NB-IoT / LTE-M, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz) and Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy.

95dB (comparable to motor bike or lawnmower at close range).

The sensor software is designed to operate without frequent updates. In the future, over-the-air updates are possible.

Initial installations are done and verified by our qualified technician. Additional devices are easy to set up and test by your own personnel. 

SBS can be mounted to any surface with screws or magnets or adhesive tape.

The device communicates its status through the portal. Common faults are indicated by a built-in LED in the device.

The device can operate in mobile containers. Currently, we do not recommend usage in cross-border operations as network transitions can results in connectivity issues.

Yes, you can group devices according to a location through the web portal.

At any time, you or an authorised colleagues can access the SBS web portal from a phone or computer to check the status.

Battery levels, device locations, connected users and live SBS chemical readings.

The portal can be accessed via a saved link, app, or by scanning a QR code on the device.

If the chemical threshold limit is exceeded, the sensor will trigger an alarm direct to your communication channels.

Notifications can be delivered to you through channels like SMS, email, Slack or Teams through our customer API. The notification will indicate the location of the triggering device and the level of detected chemicals.

Yes, if a false alarm occurs, you can cancel it from the web portal.

When an alarm is triggered, your team will be sent a step-by-step guide on how to react to a fire event.

Yes, you can share the alarm information with other colleagues.

The Kuusakoski account manager will support you in understanding your business needs. The account manager will set up and initiate the order of your SBS device(s).

SBS is a service model with a monthly fee. The service includes the device and cloud functionality with alerts. We will advice on the best pricing option to suit your business and lithium-ion storage size.
