Fire Detection in a Battery Warehouse Fujian, China Amperex Technology is a market leader in the design, manufacture, sales and marketing of rechargeable lithium ion/polymer battery cells and related battery packs and systems. In their new battery warehouse they have the capacity to store some 7000 batteries and packs. To mitigate the risk of overheating or of a fire, which could have devastating consequences, Amperex selected four AP Sensing Linear Heat Series 1km devices, each with 4 channels, to protect the warehouse.
