Detect abnormalities. Predict degradation. Trigger maintenance.
Battery manufactures agree:
When a battery begins to fail, cells release gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and VOCs. Among them, hydrogen (H₂) is the most dangerous — highly flammable and released at very early stages.

Designed for real-world deployment
Fast Sense works 24/7 inside battery modules with ultra-low power consumption, no heater, and no cross-sensitivity to other gases. It is built to scale across EVs, BESS, UPS, AGVs, and data-center energy systems.
Prevent before it escalates
By identifying pre-thermal faults, Fast Sense allows systems to shut down, isolate, or activate fire suppression sooner. The result is reduced fire risk, lower recall exposure, and improved battery State-of-Health insights across fleets.
Actionable data at ppm levels
Our solution is a tiny, embeddable gas-analysis chip that continuously monitors off-gas events at ppm levels. It delivers actionable data directly into the Battery Management System, enabling earlier decisions and safer outcomes.

Test Results:
Real-time hydrogen sensing during battery stress tests.
Keep critical systems online — safely
UPS systems operate in high-density, enclosed environments where failure can escalate quickly. Fast Sense detects early gas emissions from degrading batteries before heat or smoke appears — enabling immediate intervention.
Stability starts with early detection
Large-scale energy storage systems are exposed to continuous stress cycles. Fast Sense identifies trace gas signatures linked to early-stage battery failure, helping operators maintain performance and prevent incidents.
Prevent thermal runaway before it begins
BESS installations concentrate large amounts of energy in confined spaces. Fast Sense detects hydrogen, CO, and VOC emissions at the earliest stages — long before conventional alarms activate.
Safer charging starts with gas intelligence
EV charging hubs and depots face growing battery risk as utilisation increases. Fast Sense monitors for early gas emissions during charging and operation, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.
Keep automation running without interruption
AGVs rely on battery reliability to maintain operational flow. Fast Sense detects early battery degradation signals, preventing downtime and operational disruption.

Case Studies
CASE STUDY
Battery Recycling Safety
Safe dismantling and recycling of lithium-ion batteries requires continuous hydrogen monitoring to detect thermal events and prevent fires during processing.
CASE STUDY
Battery Room Hydrogen Monitoring
Essential for early leak identification, safety monitoring, and prevention of fire or explosion risks. Low ppm detection enables early warning before hazardous thresholds.

Why It Matters
100,000 Gallons of Water to Fight Battery Fire
A home was completely destroyed by fire caused by lithium batteries. Crews used more than 100,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames.
Warehouse Fire Sparks National Safety Debate
A logistics warehouse fire in Poland, linked to lithium battery storage, ignited a national debate over lithium battery safety standards.
