The Definitive Solution for Safe Lithium-Ion Battery Charging

In an age driven by portable power, lithium-ion batteries are essential in workshops, industrial sites, and commercial enterprises. While their efficiency is unparalleled, the inherent risks tied to their charging and storage—particularly the threat of thermal runaway and fire—pose a major safety concern. This professional-grade, fire-resistant charging cabinet is engineered as a complete safety solution, created not just to store batteries, but to offer a securely protected environment for active charging, guaranteeing optimal safety, compliance, and confidence.

Uncompromising Fire Protection: A Fortress for Your Batteries

The foundation of this charging cabinet's design is its outstanding, type-tested fire resistance. It provides a certified 90-minute fire protection rating (Type 90), tested rigorously under the demanding European standard DIN EN 14470-1. This ensures that, in case of an external fire, the cabinet's contents are shielded from flames and critical temperature rises for at least 90 minutes, stopping the batteries from becoming a secondary disaster source.

Crucially, this safety is bidirectional. The cabinet also delivers 90 minutes of fire resistance from the inside out, in compliance with the DIN EN 1363-1 standard. This is a vital feature for containing a potential battery fire. If a battery were to malfunction and ignite inside the cabinet, the fire, smoke, and hazardous gases would be contained for 90 minutes. This containment period is priceless, offering sufficient time for emergency services to arrive and control the situation before the fire can spread to the rest of the facility.

To further reduce the risk of a chain reaction, the cabinet includes several key internal safety elements:

• Insulated Shelves: Each of the four storage levels is crafted with insulated shelves that serve as individual firebreaks. In the unfortunate case that a battery on one shelf undergoes thermal runaway, this design stops the intense heat and potential flames from spreading to the batteries on the levels above or below, isolating the incident to a single shelf.

• Pressure Relief System: A battery fire can lead to a swift pressure increase inside a sealed enclosure. This charging cabinet is smartly designed with an integrated pressure relief opening at the top. If internal pressure accumulates, a hidden flap opens automatically to vent it safely, preventing a dangerous rupture or explosion of the cabinet.

• Liquid-Tight Spill Pallet: The cabinet's base contains a powder-coated steel, liquid-tight spill pallet with a one-liter containment capacity. This is intended to securely capture any leakage from damaged batteries or hazardous fluids released during a fire, preventing environmental contamination and the spread of dangerous substances.

Advanced 24/7 Monitoring and Active Safety

Beyond its passive fire defense, this charging cabinet functions as an active safety device. It is fitted with a high-sensitivity smoke detector that offers the earliest possible alert of a potential fire.

For smooth integration into a professional safety plan, the cabinet features a potential-free alarm contact. This enables it to be linked directly to a central building management system or a staffed control center. In fact, connecting to a 24/7 staffed monitoring station is a mandatory operational requirement for this cabinet. This ensures that any alarm set off by the smoke detector leads to an immediate, round-the-clock response, elevating the cabinet from a standalone item to a fully integrated part of your facility's safety and security framework.

Robust Engineering and Thoughtful Design

With a substantial weight of 299 kg, the cabinet's heavy-duty sheet steel build attests to its durability and strength. The body has a professional anthracite grey finish with scratch-proof paint, ensuring it can handle the rigors of an industrial setting. The striking gentian violet detail on the door adds a modern design element.

• Security and Access: The single-wing door comes with a strong cylinder lock (with two keys included) and an automatic 2-point locking system for a tight, secure closure. For facilities using master key systems, the lock is a profile cylinder, making it compatible with current setups. A clear red/green indicator gives an immediate visual check of the lock status.

• Stability and Placement: The cabinet has adjustable feet, allowing it to be perfectly leveled and stabilized on uneven surfaces. Additionally, it is constructed on an integrated base, making it accessible for a forklift or pallet jack. This smart design feature permits the entire cabinet to be moved safely and quickly in an emergency or during a facility rearrangement.

Optimized for Functionality and Efficiency

This charging cabinet has been carefully designed for maximum utility and ease of use.

• Powerful Charging Infrastructure: Inside, the cabinet features a vertically arranged power system with 16 "Schuko" protective sockets spread across four levels. With a total power output of 2.99 kW and strong 13A fuse protection, it is built to manage the concurrent charging of multiple professional-grade batteries.

• Flexible Interior: The four perforated shelves are height-adjustable, letting you customize the internal configuration to fit a wide range of battery and charger sizes. Each shelf has a generous load capacity of 25 kg, capable of supporting multiple devices with ease. The perforation on the shelves enhances air circulation, which helps to dissipate heat produced during charging.

• Ergonomic Operation: The left-hinged door opens to a wide angle of 89.4 degrees, giving clear, unobstructed access to the interior. The design allows for easy, one-handed placement and retrieval of batteries and chargers, improving workflow efficiency in a busy setting.

This fire-resistant charging cabinet is more than just storage equipment; it is an essential part of a modern safety strategy. By blending certified fire resistance, active monitoring, robust construction, and an efficient charging design, it offers the ultimate protection for your property, your staff, and your critical battery assets.
