Product FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is this bag fireproof?
No, and that distinction matters. This is a fire-resistant containment bag, not a fireproof one. It's built from silicone-coated fibreglass with a heat-reflective aluminium lining that resists high heat (rated to 1100 degrees C instantaneous, 550 degrees C sustained) and helps contain and slow a thermal runaway event, limiting how far a battery fire spreads. What it does is buy you time and reduce the chance of a small failure becoming a large fire. What it can't do is guarantee it will fully stop or extinguish a fire. In any fire, evacuate and call 000.
What size batteries will it fit?
The internal dimensions are 42 x 38 x 22 cm, which fits most e-bike and e-scooter batteries, power-tool battery packs, and multiple smaller device batteries. Measure your battery first, it should sit inside comfortably with some clearance so the bag can close fully.
What is it suitable for?
Storing and transporting lithium-ion batteries, and isolating a battery you're concerned about. It suits e-bike and e-scooter batteries, power-tool packs, and everyday device batteries such as laptops, cameras, drones and power banks. It is not sized for a full EV traction battery.
Can I put a damaged, swollen or recalled battery in it?
Yes, that's one of the best uses for it. Damaged, swollen or recalled batteries carry a higher risk of thermal runaway, so isolating them is sensible. Move the battery into the bag, keep it away from anything combustible, and store it somewhere you would notice a problem while you arrange safe disposal. If a battery is already hot, smoking, hissing or leaking, treat it as an emergency: if you can do so safely, get it outside and away from people and buildings, then evacuate and call 000.
Will it completely stop a battery fire?
No. No product can promise that, and any that claims to should be treated with caution. The bag is designed to resist heat and to contain and slow a thermal runaway event so it's less likely to spread to the area around it, which significantly reduces the risk of a larger fire and buys time. It is one layer of defence, not a guarantee. Always follow battery safety best practice, and in the event of a fire, evacuate and call 000.
Can I reuse it after a battery has failed inside it?
Treat it as single-use protection after any real thermal event. If the bag has contained a fire or shows charring, melting, holes or other damage, replace it, don't rely on it a second time. For everyday storage and transport of healthy batteries, you can reuse it normally; just inspect it from time to time and check the zip and seams are intact.
How do I store and look after it?
Keep it in an accessible spot away from ignition sources and direct heat, and keep it clean and dry. Don't use it as your only fire protection, it works alongside smoke alarms, safe charging habits and, where appropriate, an extinguisher or blanket. Check the zip and seams periodically so it's ready when you need it.
What about warranty, shipping and returns?
The bag carries a 12-month warranty. Shipping is calculated at checkout by location, and is free Australia wide on orders over $500. As safety equipment, returns are subject to our standard return policy, contact us if you have any questions.
