Lithium-ion Cabinets
(28 Article)Our lithium-ion cabinets with 90-minute fire protection offer the safest option for storing modern energy storage systems. The charging cabinets are equipped with shelves and a plug-in design for connection to the mains supply. This allows you to store and charge lithium-ion batteries at the same time.
Lithium-ion Safety Cabinets from DENIOS
The new generation cabinet with double-sided fire resistance
Due to their design, lithium batteries pose an increased risk potential - the associated fire risks can affect any business enterprise. The Association of Non-Life Insurers (VdS) recommends increased safety precautions, such as for medium-power batteries and for dealing with damaged energy storage devices. storage in areas separated by fire protection. The DENIOS solution: new-generation safety cabinets with 90-minute indoor and outdoor fire protection and equipment components specially designed for storing and charging lithium batteries.
Proven safety in case of fire
If a fire breaks out in a building where lithium batteries are stored in a DENIOS safety cabinet, the fire brigade will have at least 90 minutes to evacuate people in case of fire and an escalation of the fire due to ignition or explosion of lithium batteries in the enclosed cabinet can be avoided. For this purpose, the cabinets have the Type 90 classification according to EN 14470-1 for external fire resistance.
If there is a fire inside a DENIOS safety cabinet due to defective lithium batteries, the product will also withstand the same. Through continuous optimization, a fire resistance of the closed cabinet body (from inside to outside) of 90 minutes was achieved and confirmed by an additional fire test based on EN 1363-1. The SafeStore-Pro and SmartStore models are also equipped with a high-quality aerosol-based fire suppression system, which provides additional valuable time for protective measures in the event of a malfunction.
SafeStore: The solid storage solution
Based on the proven technology of our hazardous substance cabinets, a powerful system was developed with a view to the special hazard potential of storing lithium batteries. With double-sided fire protection, the SafeStore fulfills the increased requirements that in particular, property insurers place on the storage of lithium batteries.
Two tried and tested sizes with three to six storage levels provide tailored capacity for smaller and larger amounts of medium-power batteries. Height-adjustable heavy duty grid floors (180 kg load capacity) provide the necessary flexibility. A tested, liquid-tight spill tray (powder-coated sheet steel) is used to absorb any leaking sparks from burning batteries.

SafeStore Pro: Monitored Storage
In addition to double-sided fire protection, the SafeStore Pro features high-quality surveillance technology and an additional 3-level warning / fire suppression system, offering added safety.
The warning system can be connected to a permanently occupied building control system where trained personnel will be alerted at the very first signs of the onset of fire (temperature rise or smoke) and can initiate the necessary measures as quickly as possible. An aerosol-based fire suppression system, which is triggered automatically at an interior temperature of over 70 ° C, provides additional time savings.

Safety cabinets for charging your lithium batteries
SmartStore: Safe Charging
The risk of fire increases if lithium batteries are charged. Our engineers were aware of the increased fire risk involved in charging processes, so the SmartStore model was developed especially for charging lithium batteries
In addition to double-sided fire protection, fire suppression and sensor technology, the SmartStore has an additional technical ventilation to prevent heat build-up inside the cabinet. For convenient loading processes, we have integrated a charging station into each storage level. Smoke and temperature sensors provide continuous status monitoring of the safety cabinet. When the temperature rises or smoke develops in the interior, a 3-stage safety system activates the fire suppression and warning messages.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about battery charging cabinets.
A lithium-ion cabinet, also known as a battery charging cabinet or battery safety cabinet, is a special fireproof storage unit designed to charge and safely store multiple batteries simultaneously.
Lithium-ion cabinets are often used in industrial and commercial environments where a large number of batteries are used, for example in factories, warehouses or logistics centres. By using a battery cabinet, lithium batteries can be organised, protected and charged at the same time.
A battery charging cabinet offers many advantages. Here are some of the most important added values of a battery charging cabinet:
Organisation and tidiness: a battery charging cabinet enables batteries to be stored centrally and neatly.
Efficient charging: The charging cabinet usually offers individual slots or compartments for each battery. This allows batteries to be charged simultaneously and efficiently.
Safety: A well-designed battery cabinet offers protection against overcharging, short circuits and other potential hazards associated with charging batteries.
Theft protection: A lockable charging cabinet protects the batteries from theft or unauthorised access. This is particularly important in public environments or in areas with high pedestrian traffic.
Space saving: Storing the batteries in a charging cabinet saves space as they do not have to be stored individually in different locations.
Warning/fire suppression system: Some battery charging cabinets can detect faults reliably and at an early stage. An integrated warning/fire suppression system reacts to temperature increases and smoke development.
The safety of battery charging cabinets depends on several factors, including the quality of the cabinet, compliance with safety standards and regulations, and proper use and maintenance. In general, well-designed and certified battery charging cabinets are safe and offer protection against potential risks such as overheating, short-circuiting, overcharging or fire hazards.
Here are some features that are integrated into high-quality battery charging cabinets for safety:
Fire protection: charging cabinets are made of high-quality, fire-resistant materials to prevent the spread of fires. A floor drip tray is used to collect any leaks from burning batteries.
Temperature monitoring: Modern charging cabinets are equipped with temperature monitoring to detect and prevent overheating.
Charging protection: Battery charging cabinets can include overcharge protection mechanisms to ensure that the batteries are charged within safe limits. This minimises the risk of damage to the batteries and reduces the risk of fire.
Ventilation: A good charging cabinet will provide sufficient ventilation to dissipate heat and ensure adequate air circulation. This can reduce the risk of overheating and associated problems.
Lockable doors: Most battery charging cabinets have lockable doors to control access to the batteries and prevent unauthorised entry. An integrated locking status indicator shows the status in colour.
