Latest Announcement
Flashpoint Safety Systems Opens Pre-Sale for CORE and Go
Flashpoint Safety Systems is now accepting pre-sale orders for its first two early-warning lithium-ion battery safety products: Flashpoint CORE and Flashpoint Go.
Flashpoint CORE is designed for home energy storage, solar battery banks, residential battery backup, and small BESS environments.
Flashpoint Go is designed for monitored charging of e-bikes, scooters, and micromobility batteries.
The launch comes at a time when lithium-ion batteries are moving quickly into homes, garages, workplaces, transportation, and energy systems. Flashpoint’s focus is early warning: helping people identify battery failure conditions sooner, before visible smoke or flame becomes the first obvious sign of trouble.

About Flashpoint Safety Systems
Flashpoint Safety Systems was founded around a simple idea: lithium-ion battery safety needs to start earlier.
Lithium-ion batteries now power the devices, tools, vehicles, backup systems, and energy storage products people rely on every day. Most work safely. But when a battery fails, the warning window can be short. In some environments, waiting for visible smoke or flame may mean waiting too long.
Flashpoint develops early-warning battery safety technology designed to help users identify battery failure conditions sooner and respond faster.
The company’s first products, Flashpoint CORE and Flashpoint Go, bring this approach to two areas where lithium-ion battery risk is becoming more visible: home energy storage and micromobility charging.
Products
Flashpoint CORE
Flashpoint CORE is an early-warning lithium-ion battery safety system designed for home energy storage, solar battery banks, residential battery backup, and small BESS environments.
CORE is intended to add a dedicated safety layer around lithium-ion battery installations by monitoring for early battery failure indicators and providing alerting that supports faster response.
Best fit:
Homeowners, solar installers, residential energy professionals, safety-conscious property owners, and organizations using lithium-ion battery backup or storage systems.

Flashpoint Go
Flashpoint Go is designed for monitored charging of e-bikes, scooters, and micromobility batteries.
The system is intended for garages, shops, fire stations, delivery operations, shared charging areas, and other places where lithium-ion charging has become part of everyday life.
Best fit:
E-bike owners, scooter users, delivery operations, small businesses, fire stations, property managers, and shared charging environments.

Why This Matters
Lithium-ion batteries are becoming more common in residential and commercial environments. They are used in home battery systems, solar storage, e-bikes, scooters, tools, backup power products, portable electronics, and many other applications.
That growth is useful and necessary. It also changes the safety conversation.
A lithium-ion battery failure can begin inside the cell before smoke or flame is visible. When thermal runaway begins, the event may move quickly. That is why earlier warning, safer charging habits, certified equipment, proper installation, and better public education all matter.
Flashpoint does not position its products as a replacement for smoke alarms, safe charging practices, certified batteries, applicable codes, professional installation, or emergency response.
Flashpoint is an added safety layer — one designed to help people detect battery failure conditions earlier and respond sooner.
Company Boilerplate
Short Boilerplate
Flashpoint Safety Systems develops early-warning lithium-ion battery safety technology for home energy storage, solar battery installations, e-bike charging, scooter charging, micromobility applications, and small battery storage environments.
Standard Boilerplate
Flashpoint Safety Systems develops early-warning lithium-ion battery safety technology for residential, commercial, micromobility, solar, battery storage, and industrial applications. The company’s mission is to help people detect battery failure earlier, respond faster, and create safer charging and storage environments in a lithium-powered world.
Extended Boilerplate
Flashpoint Safety Systems was created to address the growing need for earlier warning around lithium-ion battery failure. As batteries become more common in homes, garages, e-bikes, scooters, solar systems, backup power, tools, workplaces, and small energy storage environments, safety systems must evolve with the technology.
Flashpoint develops practical early-warning systems designed to detect early battery failure indicators, alert users, and support faster response before smoke, flame, or full thermal runaway becomes the first obvious sign of danger.

Approved Quotes
Quote from West Carnahan
“Lithium-ion batteries are not going away, and they should not. They power the devices, tools, vehicles, and energy systems people rely on every day. But the safety layer around them needs to mature as quickly as adoption has. Flashpoint is built around earlier warning, because in a serious battery failure event, seconds can matter.”
Shorter Quote
“Our goal is not to make people afraid of battery technology. It is to help people use it more safely.”
Product Quote
“Flashpoint CORE and Flashpoint Go were designed around a practical safety need: giving people an earlier warning before a battery issue becomes a visible fire emergency.”
