Fire Protection Cover for HV and Traction Batteries
Fire protection covers for HV and traction batteries by Fingerhuth – reliable fire safety for manufacturing, logistics, and battery handling.
Our custom-fit covers reliably enclose entire battery systems and modules, contain thermal events, and create a defined safety zone that effectively prevents the spread of flames, flying sparks, and hot particles – providing valuable response time in case of emergency. Specifically developed for HV and traction batteries, these fire protection covers were designed in close collaboration with renowned German automotive manufacturers and are now successfully in use at numerous facilities worldwide. Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of industrial production and in-house logistics, they fulfill the highest industry standards while offering maximum flexibility for individual customization needs.

Technical Characteristics
- Extremely high temperature resistance: Our fire protection covers for HV and traction batteries are designed for continuous exposure up to 1000 °C and short-term peak temperatures up to 1200 °C.
- Thermal protection effect: Delays or contains the spread of flames, flying sparks, and hot particles in the event of thermal runaway or cell failure.
- Emergency response: Increases response time during fire events and enables controlled emergency measures (e.g. evacuation, fire containment).
- Barrier effect: Creates a thermally stable protective zone around the battery system – shielding adjacent components, work areas, and infrastructure.
- Reduction of escalation risks: Ideal for risk mitigation in in-house storage, logistics, and series production.
- Durable and long-lasting material: Abrasion-resistant, tear-resistant, UV-stable, splash-proof, and dust-tight.
- Individually tailored solutions: Custom solutions based on battery size, connection layout, and in-house requirements.
- Optional accessories: Document pouch, hook-and-loop fasteners, handles, RFID tags, ventilation, and much more.
- German manufacturing: Development, production, and quality control – 100% Made in Germany.
Application Examples
- Automotive manufacturers & suppliers: Used throughout the entire value chain by OEMs, battery producers, and Tier 1 suppliers.
- Production & testing: Protection during formation, initial charging, test runs, and abuse tests in battery manufacturing.
- Internal logistics: Fire protection during in-house transport via AGV, tugger train, forklift, or conveyor systems.
- Storage: Risk minimization during interim and long-term storage of HV cells, modules, and packs.
- Workshops & repair centers: Safe handling and storage of defective or used batteries during service.
- Research & development: Protective solution for tests, simulations, and prototype setups in laboratory and development environments.
- Transport packaging / internal hazardous goods: Protective solution for in-house movement of high-voltage components classified as hazardous materials.
- Hazardous materials storage & fire protection rooms: Use in safety-critical storage areas with high regulatory requirements.
