Abstract
The paper introduces the Triple Fire Shield, a threefold approach aiming to improve the safety and reliability of electric vehicle batteries. Overcharging, overheating, or physical damage to battery can lead to thermal runaway which in turn lead to fire. Due to this, introduction of a safety strategy is necessary for ensuring the protection of the passenger. Prevention of thermal runaway is achieved through temperature management methods such as Battery Management System and a liquid cooling system. Battery Management System consists of sensors which are employed to prevent overcharging. Liquid cooling system is activated by the Arduino when temperatures exceed a threshold to prevent overheating. This system circulates coolant through cooling rods around batteries, absorbing heat and releasing it. An automatic fire suppression system is activated in the event of thermal runaway for suppressing fires to minimize potential hazards which is simulated using a humidifier module. Additionally, innovative designs and technologies are explored to safeguard EV batteries from accidents that could trigger thermal runaway
