Thermal runaway shield acts as a heat sink during normal lithium-ion battery pack operation but also prevents thermal runaway propagation, which is a serious concern for aerospace and defense customers and electric vehicle manufacturers.
A vaporizing thermal capacitor that provides passive prevention of thermal runaway propagation (TRP) in lithium-ion battery packs.
Thermal runaway can occur spontaneously in a Li-ion cell due to a short.
This can trigger an explosive release of electric energy that ruptures the end cap resulting in a flare and combustion of cell materials.
Released heat drives the triggered cell temperatures to > 500°C, causing a dramatic increase in neighboring cell temperatures. Temperatures above the critical 130°C greatly increase the chance for a short in adjacent cells and result in TRP. This product keeps neighboring cell temperatures from rising above 100°C (well below the 130°C threshold) and prevents TRP.
Effective passive thermal management solutions for battery packs ranging from 10 to 4,000 cells are in demand.
This is especially the case with high-performance applications that draw more power from the battery pack, which can be the case with E-Mobility applications.
The company's US-designed, NASA-tested design is a very light-weight, durable heat sink that keeps lithium ion batteries cooler and safer.
A perfect fit for an automotive industry (electric vehicles) that demands safe and reliable, light-weight battery management solutions.

And as I mentioned previously, KULR has several potential catalysts that could spark vertical movement near term. Here's what to take into account.
No. 1 KULR Potential Catalyst - $7.00 Price Target Provides Over 400% Potential Upside From Friday's Close
Analyst Theodore R. O’Neill of Litchfield Hills Research reiterated a buy rating and slapped KULR with a $7.00 price target back towards the end of 2021.
Here are some key highlights from his report:
Initial $500K order for immediate delivery. Yesterday, the company announced the Company has received an initial order totaling approximately $500K for its passive propagation resistant ("PPR") battery systems from the Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT-NR). This initial order is for immediate delivery and is the starting point in the partnership as LMT leverages KULR's technological advancements in PPR energy products for its Advanced Energy Systems that use next generation lithium-ion batteries.
Demand growing as lithium-ion battery use grows rapidly. KULR's PPR energy products include the Thermal Runaway Shield ("TRS"), the Internal Short Circuit ("ISC"), its full suite of proprietary battery design and testing methodologies, as well as the battery cell screening and monitoring system KULR developed for its aerospace and U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") customers.
Well protected IP. The company’s technology is well protected. It has eleven granted U.S. patents of which five are directly related to “thermal runaway shield(s).”
Building a suite of battery safety products. Its lithium-ion battery safety technology solutions is recognized by the U.S. Department of Transportation which expanded its expansion of a permit to transport reused, refurbished and retrofitted lithium-ion batteries for recycling on September 24, 2021.
Attractive valuation. Although the shares trade above peer averages, on the basis of discounted future earnings, we feel the shares are undervalued.

No. 3 KULR Potential Catalyst - KULR Receives 2nd Order From Fortune 20 Company
KULR Secures Second Order from Fortune 20 E-Commerce and Cloud Computing Customer for Commercial Drone Delivery
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), a leading developer of next-generation lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) battery safety and thermal management technologies, has received two orders from a leading Fortune 20 e-commerce and cloud computing company for its next generation Li-ion battery powered commercial drone delivery fleet.

No. 4 KULR Potential Catalyst - With Technicals Leaning Oversold, A Possible Healthy Reversal Looms
As of close on Friday, Barchart was reporting this profile to have several oversold leaning technicals.
These technicals could be signaling a healthy reversal in the near term.
Here's the definition of a "reversal" from Investopedia:
"A reversal is a change in the price direction of an asset. A reversal can occur to the upside or downside. Following an uptrend, a reversal would be to the downside. Following a downtrend, a reversal would be to the upside. Reversals are based on overall price direction and are not typically based on one or two periods/bars on a chart."
Now, here are some key technicals (as of close Friday) that could signal KULR to be leaning oversold and on the verge of a potential reversal.
- 9-Day Relative Strength Index: 34.01%
- 14-Day Relative Strength Index: 38.31%
When these numbers drop down to the 30% range and lower, they can be viewed as being in oversold territory. While in this territory, they can paint the picture of a profile that is undervalued.
- 14-Day Raw Stochastic: 10.53%
- 14-Day Williams %R: 89.47%
As the Raw Stochastic nears the 10% range and lower and the Williams %R nears the 90% range or higher, these technical indicators may also be viewed as oversold and undervalued.
Keep an eye on these technicals closely.
