Over 40 years of Excellence
E Preston has been a specialist distributor of electrical and electronic components since 1980, offering thousands of products to meet a wide variety of needs and applications.
But we do more than simply sell components – we have built a reputation as a company who does business the traditional and honest way. Paying attention to the simple things – like phoning people back when we say we will – has kept our customers coming back for over four decades.
Our staff are experts in their fields, we maintain appropriate stock levels, and all of our processes are fully computerised to ensure a smooth operation.
We also understand that business is carried out between people, not companies. We do the hard work to maintain relationships with our suppliers as well as our customers. That way everybody in every part of the supply chain is satisfied – from the manufacturer to the end customer.
BES LITE is a cost-effective, low-profile, light-weight battery safety detector that uses Honeywell proprietary gas sensing technology to selectively detect battery electrolyte vapor, an indicator of thermal events. This provides an advanced warning of potential thermal runaway in Lithium-Ion battery packs.
BES LITE is designed to detect gases that are typically released during the initial phase of thermal runaway as well as throughout the entire thermal runaway process. This advanced detection capability facilitates the prompt identification of imminent dangers or risks, significantly enhancing safety measures in critical situations. Therefore, the sensor allows for proactive responses that can prevent loss of assets and protection of lives.
Early detection may vary based on factors such as the nature of cell abuse and its severity, state of charge, and other variables. BES LITE allows compliance with international regulations and guidance by providing a deterministic detection of thermal runaway events.
BES LITE is compatible with all lithium-ion battery chemistries and cell types, making it versatile for use in industrial lithium-ion battery packs. Engineered to support a ten-year lifespan, it aligns with the typical operational life of industrial equipment. As concerns over lithium-ion battery safety continue to rise, BES LITE stands out as the ideal battery safety detector, ensuring the protection of both personnel and assets.
