The innovative pressure relief solution, Dual-Gard, enhances safety, design, and performance in batteries and BESSs by combining pressure equalization with emergency venting in a single, robust, scalable device. Dual-Gard offers double protection against the greatest safety concern in lithium-ion batteries: the risk of propagation. The breathing membrane prevents swelling and contracting, while the metal rupture disc or vent activates within milliseconds for rapid, full-bore pressure relief. This reduces the risk overshooting the desired relief pressure and allows a fast evacuation of heat and pressure before adjacent batteries are affected. Dual-Gard also enables a simpler, more efficient battery design. The space-saving …
