KULR announces issuance of U.S. patent covering Li-Ion battery storage

KULR Technology (KULR) announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded a patent on the technology behind its SafeCase products – a U.S. Department of Transportation, DoT, permitted lithium-ion battery cell and pack storage and transportation system. The SafeCase products are designed to mitigate thermal runaway propagation and its catastrophic effects for lithium-ion battery packs of up to 2.5 kWh per case by utilizing KULR’s patented Thermal Runaway Shield technology. In 2022, KULR gained immediate and open access to commercial partners and customers by securing United Parcel Service (UPS) shipping certification, which allows for shipment of batteries utilizing the KULR SafeCase products through UPS’ vast shipping network. This is the fourth patent issued to KULR based on its TRS design architecture. "We bring decades of experience solving today’s problems within thermal management," stated Dr. Will Walker, Chief Technology Officer of KULR Technology Group, Inc. "Previously, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported KULR’s design solutions could stop fires and explosions in lithium-ion battery packs, and provided additional insights on the future of safe battery technology. We continue to work with government agencies, regulators, and commercial customers across the world incorporating our holistic methodology for designing safe battery systems."
