Description
VLITEX E-Bike Battery Bag – L and XL
Safe Charging, Storage & Transport for E-Bike Batteries
The VLITEX E-Bike Battery Bag is designed to help reduce the risks associated with storing, charging, and transporting lithium-ion e-bike batteries. Constructed from a robust 5-layer fibreglass material system, it’s engineered to help contain flames, reduce smoke and toxic gas spread, and limit heat transfer in the event of a battery fire.
The E-Bike Battery Bag from VLITEX has been real-fire tested with a 400Wh lithium-ion battery.
Suitable for home users, bicycle retailers, workshops, fleet operators, and commercial facilities, the VLITEX Battery Bag adds an extra layer of protection whenever batteries are being charged, stored, or transported.
Why Use a Battery Safety Bag?
Lithium-ion batteries are found in almost every modern e-bike, but damaged, defective, or poorly maintained batteries can fail unexpectedly.
The VLITEX E-Bike Battery Bag has been developed to:
- Help contain flames during a battery fire
- Reduce smoke and toxic gas spread
- Minimise heat transfer outside the bag
- Provide additional protection during charging and storage
- Improve safety when transporting batteries
While no battery containment product can completely eliminate fire risk, the VLITEX Battery Bag is designed to provide valuable time to react during a battery emergency. Note: the bag helps contain a battery fire. In the event of a fire, it is important to move away and call 000.
Five-Layer Protective Construction
The bag features a specialised multi-layer design incorporating heat-resistant fibreglass fabrics and insulating fire-resistant materials for enhanced thermal insulation and resistance to temperatures up to 1,000°C (short-term).
Controlled Gas Release Design
Unlike sealed battery containers, the VLITEX Battery Bag incorporates three integrated vent openings, allowing gases to escape in a controlled manner and reducing pressure build-up inside the bag.

Tested and certified
Real fire test by Schwender GmbH with a 400Wh lithium-ion battery
KIWA certificate: material withstands up to 1,000°C (short-term)
STFI: burst test with a punching force of 8.69kN (DIN EN ISO 12236)
STFI: resistance to cuts from sharp objects (DIN ISO 13997)
Hof University of Applied Sciences: low electrical conductivity (DIN 54345-1)
Test results are as stated on the manufacturer’s data sheet. The data sheet also notes that a general guarantee of protection can’t be given because every fire incident is different. Certification details are available on request.
Available in two sizes – L and XL (see table for dimensions).

FAQ
The bag is constructed in five layers: three silicone-coated fibreglass fabric layers with two 3mm fibreglass mats between them. The layers add heat resistance and impact protection, and the bag is sewn with fire-resistant thread.
The bag is available in two sizes:
L: Suitable for batteries up to 43cm × 12cm × 11cm
XL: Suitable for batteries up to 53cm × 12cm × 11cm
In most cases, there is even room for the charging cable when it is not in use.
No. It’s designed to contain flames and heat, reduce smoke and support temperature control outside the bag, minimising the risk of the fire spreading. A battery can continue to burn inside.
Important: Battery fires release toxic fumes. Move quickly away from the source of the fire and alert emergency services.
Note: For bicycles with permanently installed batteries, a VLITEX E-Bike Fire Blanket helps to contain flames and smoke.
Battery fires release toxic and flammable gases, and a fully sealed bag can build pressure. The VLITEX bag has three flue gas openings in the lid so gases can escape in a controlled way while flames and heat stay contained.
A battery fire is heralded by the leakage of toxic gases. Move away as soon as possible to avoid damage to your health.
