Lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to deliver power from a compact size. Although they are used in a vast range of equipment, from handheld devices to cars, they require special handling and care.
Denios, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of storage containers for hazardous materials, introduces Lithium-Ion Stations. Designed specifically for storing lithium-ion batteries, they are designed for storing new, questionable, damaged, defective, or End-of-Life lithium-ion batteries typically found in small handheld devices. Available in two standard sizes, they allow the storage storing and transportation of batteries from 1 KG to 10 KG up to 100W, which are typically used in power tools, e-bikes, medical devices, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, forklifts, and cars.
With two hours of fire resistance, and integrated forklift pockets for relocation, these purpose-built containers protect against fire hazards caused by thermal runaway, deep discharge, mechanical deformation, or chemical reaction. Each unit includes thermo-dissipative media (class D fire), and visual identification on all sides to alert emergency personnel of contents and hazards. These Li-Ion Battery Stations protect employees, facilities, and the environment. They follow guidelines within NFPA 704, IFC 608, FM 5-55 and applicable EPA regulations. Denios Lithium-Ion Battery Stations are designed for manufacturers incorporating Li-ion batteries into their products, as well as facilities using them.
Every Denios Lithium-Ion Battery Station features solidly welded construction for a long service life, with integrated vents for passive ventilation. Lockable, hinged lid and doors keep the contents safe from unauthorized personnel. Shelving and fire extinguishers are optional.
