Honeywell BES Battery Safety Electrolyte Sensors
Honeywell Battery Safety Electrolyte Sensors (BES) are advanced automotive-grade devices designed for the early detection of venting and thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery systems. These sensors utilize a patented rate of change algorithm and effectively monitor electrolyte vapor, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, providing reliable alerts during critical thermal events. The BES series electrolyte sensors come in 12V and 24V versions, are protected against siloxane poisoning, and work with different types of battery chemicals. Typically used in electric and hybrid vehicles and on-road applications.
