Why Battery Rooms need professional fire protection
Battery rooms often house large-capacity battery banks (e.g. lithium-ion or lead-acid) that deliver crucial power when needed — but under the surface, they pose serious fire and safety risks. Without proper safeguards, a thermal runaway, gas emission or electrical fault can escalate quickly.
The Omniguard solution
Omniguard´s system delivers high-performance detection and integrated suppression control. Built for demanding conditions, it ensures rapid, reliable response—minimizing risk and potential damage.
Key fire protection challenges in hangars:
- Overheating, smoke, or gas emissions during charging
- Rapid fire propagation between battery cells
- Toxic or flammable gases (e.g., hydrogen from lead-acid batteries)
- Risk of re-ignition after an initial fire event
- Electrical faults or short circuits in densely packed installations
A complete fire safety solution must:
- Offer detection ranges tailored to relevant fuel types
- Distinguish between real threats and false alarms (e.g., EMI or external heat)
- Respond fast enough to limit or prevent damage
- Integrate detection, alert, and suppression into one smart system
- Provide coverage that meets your specific project and regulatory requirements
- Support compliance with industry standards and local regulations
- Protect both personnel and critical infrastructure
