1. How does the Basic Store plan differ from the Basic Charge plan?
-
Basic Store: Designed purely as a passive storage facility (storage without charging)
-
Basic Charge: Designed for the active charging of lithium-ion batteries
2. How does the Basic Charge’s control unit respond when smoke is detected?
If the smoke detector is triggered, the control unit automatically switches off the built-in fan to prevent the fire from being fanned into a blaze
3. How does the Basic battery cabinet provide protection in the event of a fire?
The cabinet has been tested in accordance with DIN EN 1363-1 and offers 90 minutes’ fire resistance from both inside and outside (EI 90)
Basic Battery Cabinet: Fire safety for battery storage
Lithium-ion batteries have become an integral part of our everyday lives. Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are being used in an ever-increasing number of products and devices, not only in the private sector but also, in particular, in trades and industrial settings, such as in a wide range of power tools or mobile machinery. However, these high-performance rechargeable batteries pose significant risks if handled or stored incorrectly. A technical fault, mechanical damage or overcharging can lead to an uncontrolled fire that is very difficult to extinguish. There is still no valid legislation governing the storage of lithium-ion batteries (rechargeable batteries). Nevertheless, Li-ion rechargeable batteries should be treated as hazardous substances. Due to this high risk potential, the utmost care must be taken to ensure maximum safety when storing and charging lithium-ion batteries.
Protection objectives of the Basic battery cabinet
The Basic battery cabinet from LaCont is the ideal entry-level model for the active and passive storage of lithium-ion batteries. Wherever batteries are charged or stored as part of everyday commercial operations, the risk of fire increases. This is precisely where this Basic model offers the right safety solution for your business. The cabinet has been designed to reliably meet the most important safety objectives in the event of an emergency:
- Protection in the event of a fire inside the cabinet, to buy time for the evacuation of people in the vicinity and for the fire service to commence fire-fighting operations
- Protection of the batteries in the event of a fire outside the cabinet to prevent additional hazards arising from the stored goods.
Certified battery charging cabinet: entry-level model with 90 minutes’ fire protection
The Basic cabinet model offers certified fire protection in accordance with the highest standards. With the Fire resistance class EI90 (90 minutes from the inside and outside) he is after DIN EN 1363-1 Tested and certified. Should an uncontrollable chemical chain reaction occur inside a battery cell, the risk is contained within the battery cabinet thanks to its high fire resistance.
The Basic battery cabinet therefore offers you reliable protection in both directions. It effectively prevents flames from spreading to the surrounding area, thereby avoiding additional, unpredictable hazards for your business. With this security system The Basic model provides a reliable introduction to fire safety and protects your business and your staff in the event of an emergency.
