VLITEX E-bike battery bag
A battery fire can have devastating consequences. The VLITEX e-bike battery bag is tested with batteries up to 400 Wh and prevents damage in case of fire. Simply charge the battery in the bag, store or even transport. Should the battery fire occur, then the fire cannot spread and the surrounding area is protected. Quite simple, actually…

E-bike battery bag FAQs
We offer the bag in two sizes.
The size L is suitable for batteries up to the size of 43 x 12 x 11 cm.
The XL size is suitable for batteries up to the size of 53 x 12 x 11 cm.
Most batteries are not that big. Therefore, it is quite possible to also store the charging cable in the bag when it is not in use.
Already in the development phase, we had the bag tested by a battery manufacturer and fire departments. In addition, we always have fire departments conduct practical tests. This is the only way to experience the force of a battery fire and that the bag can actually withstand it.
In the video you can see well how the VLITEX battery bag compares to the competition.
The bag is made of two layers of silicone-coated fiberglass fabric. Between them is a thick mat of fiberglass. This ensures that the battery is well protected against damage in case of a fall. And the three layers can also withstand the force of a battery fire.
If a battery fire occurs, smoke and toxic gases are formed. In tests, we have seen that competitive products then inflate and eventually explode. The gases can escape from the VLITEX battery bag and the environment remains protected from the fire.

Tips for charging your e-bike battery safely
How to avoid dangerous overcharging of the battery pack
If a battery continues to be charged when it is already full, it can overheat. And because high temperatures trigger chemical reactions in the battery cells, there is a risk that the battery will self-ignite.
Therefore, use a timer and thus limit the charging process!
So you can react quickly in case of fire
If a battery ignites, smoke is produced first. Now there would still be time to get the bag out of the apartment before the fumes spread. But how do you know as quickly as possible that there is a fire? The solution is very simple:
We advise placing a standard smoke detector in the pocket. Alerted early by the signal, there is still enough time to carry the battery in the bag into the open air.
But please be very careful – quite quickly form toxic fumes. If in doubt, call the fire department and move away from the source of the fire!
