Watch the Lithium Safety Store™ in action
Please watch these videos to see how effectively the Lithium Safety Store™ contains a fire caused by a spontaneous lithium-ion thermal runaway, and how choosing the wrong solution can be be even worse than no solution.
The World’s only solution to warn you and your crew of a fire in progress - as it happens, whether on land or sea
4 Independent early warnings, plus optional OceanSentinel™
Instant WiFi / e-mail remote alert
In-built temperature sensor connects to your phone wirelessly to provide the 1st remote early warning. This unique feature means you or your Captain (up to 10 people) can be alerted to any fire even whilst you are not onboard, allowing you to manage the situation without the loss of your vessel.
SMS text message remote alert
By adding a SIM card as a back-up for the WiFi, the Safety Store will send a text message as a 2nd remote early warning. You and up to 10 people can be alerted to any incident even whilst you are not onboard. One SIM card can provide coverage for up to 100 individual Lithium Safety Stores.
Instant audible smoke detection alarm
A 100-decibel fire/smoke alarm built into the Lithium Safety Store™ provides a 3rd local audible early warning.
Instant visual flashing light alarm
A temperature activated flashing red light built into the Lithium Safety Store™ provides a 4th local visual alarm, helpful to immediately warn and identify which unit has the fire.
iAQUA OceanSentinel™ 24/7 monitoring and emergency response service
OceanSentinel™ is the ultimate back-up and peace-of mind, providing the highest level of fire safety possible. For a monthly or annual subscription, have your team immediately notified 24/7 by our live operators, constantly monitoring your status of your Lithium Safety Store™. It provides the following additional features:
OceanSentinel™: The ultimate fire safety 24/7 response
In the event of an incident, we realise a text or email may not be noticed immediately, or even until the next morning if a fire erupts at night. With OceanSentinel™, an emergency response operator will immediately and continuously call your emergency contacts list. We don’t stop until somebody is reached.
OceanSentinel Bridge Alarm
In the event of a fire OceanSentinal will also alert the Bridge Alarm, a 100-decibel warning alarm, with a high intensity flashing red visual alarm to be located with the Comms Module on the bridge or crews mess, perfect for overnight passages. The Bridge Alarm (sold separately) allows you to remotely check the status of all units, and tells you which unit is on fire should an incident occur.
Extended alert network
By adding your harbour master’s office and local fire brigade numbers, they too will be promptly notified in case of an emergency.
Consistent battery monitoring with OceanSentinel™
OceanSentinel™ will check will perform a weekly check of the status of your Lithium Safety Stores internal batteries and notify you well in advance should they need recharging. The Smart Sensor batteries last for several months before recharging. The communications module, designed to run on AC power but has battery backup for safety also. This can be drained with weaker WiFi signals. A grim statistic is that nearly 60% of fire deaths are caused by smoke alarm dead batteries. With OceanSentinel™ on your side this vital task is taken care of.
Daily SMS service check
OceanSentinel™ runs daily checks on your SMS service, promptly alerting you of any detected issues.
Daily WiFi monitoring
OceanSentinel™ verifies your WiFi connection daily, alerting you immediately should any issues be detected.
See how the remote monitoring and alert system works...
Efficient, safe incident handling using the Lithium Safety Store™
1. Immediate fire alert protocol
You and your crew will be instantly alerted by email and SMS text there is a fire, giving details of the time started, the internal temperature of the safety store, plus vessel details such as name, location, max number of passengers and crew, port address, telephone number and berth number, plus, for quick reference, contact details of all of the emergency contacts assigned to this safety store.
In addition, if you have subscribed to OceanSentinel™ the emergency contacts will be alerted by phone by our 24-hour monitoring and emergency response team. If you have OceanSentinel™ you can choose for us to notify the local fire service and harbour master also.
2. Local alert systems
Use the local visual and audible alarms, plus smoke from the side vents to confirm and locate which Lithium Safety Store has an internal fire in progress.
3. At-sea protocol
If onboard, initiate the vessel’s fire and muster procedures. Prioritise collective safety.
4. Critical reminder
Never open the Lithium Safety Store during an incident.
5. Disengage power sources
For items being charged, ensure you turn off their power and unplug them immediately.
6. Temperature & visibility check
Use the digital infrared temperature gun to monitor the Safety Store’s heat level. A rise in temperature and visible smoke from the vents indicate active fire conditions. Stay observant.
7. Safe relocation tips
When feasible, using protective gloves or a cloth, relocate the Lithium Store to an open area. Keep level. Avoid tight stairways during this process. Handle with care.
8. Immediate water response
If a water supply is available, connect the hose to the inlet port. If already connected, activate the water. Once water flows from the gas vents, reduce pressure but maintain a steady trickle to ensure continuous outflow from the vents. Prioritise containment.
9. Alternative action without water
If water isn’t accessible and depending on your vessel’s location (at sea or in port) and deck space available, the captain might decide to jettison the Safety Store overboard. If chosen, this action should be undertaken carefully, ideally by two individuals.
10. Monitor and document
Check the temperature every 5 minutes and note any temperature increase or decrease to give you an indication of the fire’s progression. Stay vigilant.
11. Post-incident protocol
After temperature drops below 30°C, wait a minimum of 3 hours, monitoring every 5-10 minutes. Keep the Safety Store sealed until port return, then dispose. If insurance photos are required, position yourself to the side/rear, shield eyes and mouth from potential fumes, open slowly, then safely discard.
It's easy to set up your Lithium Safety Store™
When you first register the unit via the phone app or browser, you set up the names, telephone numbers and email addresses of the persons you wish to be notified in the event of a fire (SMS text and email), you also give each unit its own individual identifier (eg, MY Sanook LSS-01 or Miami Marina 02 etc.), and its physical address, i.e LSS-05, MY Sanook, Princess 23m, Royal Phuket Marina, Dock E, Berth E06.
From the same the same app, you can also add additional units, or decide to add the OceanSentinel monitoring service.
That’s it, you are now protected.
Transform marina safety with the Lithium Safety Store™
Lithium battery fires on boats are not just a risk - they’re a reality!
Your essential guard against devastating multi-boat fires
Prevent Catastrophic Fires
Lithium battery fires on boats are not just a risk; they’re a reality, with incidents causing the destruction of multiple yachts and severe financial losses now a weekly occurance. The iAQUA Lithium Safety Store™ is engineered to prevent these disasters, safeguarding the marina and every vessel in your marina from the threat of sudden and uncontrollable fires. A sobering thought is just one faulty or damaged battery, spontaneously combusting on one single boat, could effectively destroy every boat in the marina.
Mandatory Safety Compliance
Elevate the safety standards of your marina by mandating the use of the Lithium Safety Store™ for all boats. This policy not only enhances the protection of individual vessels but also safeguards the entire marina from the domino effect of spreading fires, setting a new benchmark in maritime safety.
New Revenue Opportunity
Marinas can tap into a profitable venture by providing Lithium Safety Stores for rent. This initiative not only adds an extra income stream, but also makes state-of-the-art safety technology accessible to all boat owners, reinforcing the marina’s commitment to safety and customer care.
Peace of Mind for Boat Owners
For owners investing tens of thousands in high-value equipment like sea scooters, e-foils and e-boards, the Lithium Safety Store™ ensures their investments are protected. Safe, off-boat storage and constant trickle charging prevents battery degradation and total failure, offering worry-free maintenance during off-season periods.
Cutting-Edge Safety Features
Equipped with advanced early warning systems, plus fire-suppression technology, including a Kevlar®-reinforced structure and specialized heat-blocking materials, the Lithium Safety Store™ is a fortress against lithium battery fires.
Its built-in water inlet fire extinguishing port allows any unit to be manually flooded via a one-way inlet valve.
Simplicity and Convenience
The Lithium Safety Store™ is designed for ease of use, featuring stackable designs, portable handles, and clear temperature monitoring systems. This simplicity encourages widespread adoption among boat owners, integrating seamlessly into the marina environment.
Individual Protection is Pramount
Unlike the traditional approach of using 20 and 40-foot steel containers, which can burn for days or weeks, destroying everything inside and resulting in millions of dollars in losses, the iAQUA solution offers compartmentalized safety. Each Safety Store acts as a self-contained unit, ensuring that in the event of a fire, only the contents within that specific store are affected and securely contained. This design not only minimizes potential damage but also greatly simplifies incident management. This approach not only safeguards each owner’s investment but also ensures that any fire incident is quickly and effectively contained, maintaining the overall safety and integrity of the marina.
Raising the Bar for Marina Excellence
By incorporating the Lithium Safety Store™ into your marina’s operations, you’re not just investing in safety; you’re enhancing your reputation as a forward-thinking, responsible facility. This commitment to the highest safety standards will attract discerning boat owners and set your marina apart as a leader in maritime safety innovation.
“Every marina should use the Lithium Safety Store system. Nothing else offers this level of protection, and no other system is so easy and adaptable to use.”
