Li-ion Safety by Design -

Discharge Protection - Inherently, Li-ion batteries and battery packs have made it possible to store an amazing amount of energy in a relatively small amount of space.  This level of energy density creates the potential for a problem if the energy were to be released too quickly.  In addition to in-line fuses, the boundless design uses electrically controlled contacters to electrically isolate battery strings when connected in parallel. 

Charge Protection - Li-ion cells must be protected from excessive voltages and currents during charge.  Not only can this activity damage the cells, it could result in a fire at the cell level.

Cell Protection - Boundless' battery management system insures that our battery and battery packs operate the core Li-ion cells within their designed operating parameters.  We have the ability to monitor and make corrective action based on any of 10 key system attributes.  Cell over-voltage, cell under-voltage, excessive charge/discharge currents, under/over temperature situations are just a few.


Boundless' Layered Safety Philosophy

Boundless has deployed a multi-layered safety approach from the electronics, to physical protection layers in the inter-connects and ending with the safety layer built into the cells themselves.  No single layer is going to provide end-to-end safety.  Utilizing multiple layers is important to overall system assurance.  

Boundless' #1 goal is to provide safe, reliable long-term use of Li-ion cells to users who can benefit from the incredible storage densities available with Li-ion cell chemistries. 


Built-in Cell Safety

In addition to Boundless' safety measures, our designs only employ cells with internal safety mechanisms.  Most Li-ion cells utilize three safety mechanisms inside the cells themselves.
