UltraProlink has launched Fire Shield, a fire-resistant safety bag designed for storing and transporting power banks, lithium-ion batteries and other valuables, amid growing focus on battery safety during air travel. The company said the new product is designed to provide an additional layer of protection for power banks, lithium batteries , LiPo batteries and portable battery packs. Beyond electronics, the pouch can also be used to store passports, bank cards, jewellery, important documents and other personal valuables.




Three-layer fire-resistant designAccording to UltraProlink, the Fire Shield features a three-layer construction comprising silicone-coated fibreglass, fibreglass fabric and an aluminium foil inner layer. The bag also includes a LiPo-safe thermal shield and fire-resistant stitching designed to help reduce the spread of fire caused by battery-related incidents.




The company said the product's safety performance has been verified through SGS and UL94 standards. It also features a water-resistant dual-closure design intended to provide protection against moisture and accidental spills.




UltraProlink added that the compact form factor allows users to carry the bag conveniently in backpacks and luggage.




Designed with battery safety in mindThe launch comes as aviation regulators and airlines continue to tighten rules around the handling and transportation of lithium battery-powered devices due to potential fire risks.




The Fire Shield is designed to accommodate compatible power banks up to 25,000mAh, along with portable battery packs and lithium-ion batteries.




The company said the safety bag is intended as an additional precautionary measure for travellers carrying power banks and batteries on flights. However, it emphasised that users must continue to comply with applicable DGCA regulations as well as airline and airport guidelines.




Not a substitute for fire safety measuresUltraProlink stressed that while Fire Shield is engineered to reduce risks associated with battery fires, it does not guarantee complete fire containment and should not be considered a replacement for established fire-safety practices.




Commenting on the launch, Pankaj Mirchandani, Founder and CEO of UltraProlink, said the product was developed to address concerns around carrying and storing power banks and lithium batteries, particularly as restrictions on such devices increase across airports and airlines globally.




"We also designed it to be useful beyond batteries, giving users a dedicated protective pouch for important personal essentials such as passports, cash and cards," he said.




The UltraProlink Fire Shield Fire-Resistant Safety Bag is priced at Rs 1,299 and is available through the company's website and Amazon India.
