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 300% 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. 4 KULR Potential Catalyst - KULR's Recent Hot Streak Has It Trading From A Position Of Potential Strength
Over the past 3 weeks, KULR appears to be heating up.
So much so that as of close Friday, KULR had pushed above several key lines of potential support.
Those include KULR's:
- 5-Day Simple Moving Average (SMA)
- 20-Day SMA
- 50-Day SMA
- 5-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
- 13-Day EMA
That's great and all, but here's the key detail to pay attention to.
As of close Friday, KULR had a 200-Day SMA of just over $2.18.
With so much potential support just below KULR, there may be little resistance towards a return to its 200-Day SMA!
Now, I'm not saying KULR is going to make a big double-digit surge to any previous high around $2.18, but you need to be aware of the potential upside from current levels.
