Full Circle Lithium to Showcase FCL-X™ in Live Lithium Battery Burn Demonstration for Major US Airlines and Logistics Leaders
- Live FCL-X™ burn demonstration highlights breakthrough lithium battery fire suppression technology for the aviation and logistics industry
- Event convenes major U.S. airlines and logistics leaders to address rising safety risks
TORONTO, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Full Circle Lithium Corp. (“FCL” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FCLI) (OTCQB: FCLIF) (FSE: K0Q), a leading US-based lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing products manufacturer, is pleased to announce an upcoming live demonstration of its cutting-edge lithium battery safety technologies, including the proprietary FCL-X™ suppression agent, scheduled for April 15, 2026. This high-profile event will be held at the headquarters of one of the world’s largest logistics companies and will bring together safety and operations representatives from seven major U.S. airline carriers. The demonstration marks a significant milestone in advancing industry-wide safety standards for the transportation of lithium batteries by air and ground.
Addressing a Critical and Growing Safety Challenge
As global reliance on lithium battery-powered devices continues to accelerate, so too does the urgency around safe transport. The airline and logistics sectors have experienced a notable rise in battery-related fire incidents in recent years, resulting in operational disruptions and costly damage.1 The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has repeatedly underscored the seriousness of the issue, warning that “lithium batteries… can act as ignition sources and potentially start onboard fires.”23
FAA data further highlights the scale of the risk, with dozens of verified incidents annually involving smoke, fire, or extreme heat on both passenger and cargo aircraft.4 Industry experts note that these events are particularly dangerous due to thermal runaway—a chain reaction that can rapidly escalate and is difficult to extinguish once initiated.5
Underwriters Laboratories’ Thermal Runaway Incident Program (TRIP)—a voluntary program that tracks and trends lithium battery incidents—indicates that the risk of a lithium-ion battery fire is at its highest point in five years of data collection. On average, there are two lithium-ion battery thermal-runaway events per week; over half of those events occur during the cruise phase of a flight, often at the furthest point from a suitable airport. TRIP surveys suggest that the average passenger brings four rechargeable devices onboard and often (one in five passengers) packs rechargeable batteries in their checked luggage.6
A Live Demonstration for Industry Decision-Makers
Hosted at the headquarters of one of the world’s largest logistics companies, the April 15 event will provide a rare, hands-on opportunity for airline safety teams and logistics professionals to witness the FCL-X™ suppression agent in a controlled, real-world simulation. Attendees will gain firsthand insight into the technology’s ability to rapidly suppress lithium battery fires in different settings and mitigate the risk of escalation.
Carlos Vicens, CEO of Full Circle Lithium, said:
This is a defining moment for our company and for the broader industry,
“We are proud to demonstrate how FCL-X™ can materially improve safety outcomes across the transportation ecosystem. Bringing together leading airlines and logistics partners in one setting creates a powerful opportunity to accelerate the adoption of next-generation safety solutions.”
Driving Collaboration and Raising the Bar for Safety
The participation of major airline carriers and logistics stakeholders highlights a shared commitment to addressing one of the industry’s most pressing and rapidly intensifying safety concerns. Regulators, airlines, and logistics providers are increasingly aligned that lithium battery fire risk is no longer a niche issue—but a critical safety priority requiring immediate and scalable solutions. As lithium battery usage continues to expand rapidly across consumer electronics, electric mobility, and cargo applications, the need for proactive, high-performance fire suppression technologies has never been greater.
The April 15 demonstration represents a pivotal step forward—positioning Full Circle Lithium at the forefront of innovation while helping shape a safer future for global transportation. These steps provide the potential for short incursions into the Airline and Logistics industries, as well as positioning the Company for medium- to long-term success.
