Lithium-ion Battery Storage Cabinets

A battery cabinet is a particular type of storage cabinet that reduces the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. These innovative cabinets create a safer environment in which workplaces can charge and store their li-ion cells. Storemasta’s lithium-ion battery charging and storage cabinets provide a cool, dry and secure space for batteries to be housed and recharged.

Due to the risk of lithium-ion battery fires and explosions, staff must be trained to understand the hazards of the battery. To maintain an optimum environment that reduces the risk of battery fires, strict handling and storage procedures are required. Lithium-ion battery training is an important consideration for workplaces handling these Class 9 dangerous goods.

Lithium-ion battery charging cabinets are designed for both the charging and the storage of li-ion cells. Therefore, whatever charge your battery is on, you can store it in the cabinet until it is required by your staff. We recommend always following the battery manufacturer’s instructions on how to charge your batteries, so you can maintain safety when working with lithium-ion batteries in the workplace. However, it is best not to overcharge or overdischarge your lithium batteries as this may increase fire risk.

Any type of battery will deteriorate with age. However, by using the correct storage, you can increase the lifespan and safety of your batteries. As lithium-ion batteries are designed to be recharged, you should ensure that your batteries are regularly used to keep them in optimum working order. We recommend creating a regular inspection checklist for your batteries, so any old or damaged batteries (or chargers) are disposed of before they can create a hazard – such as a lithium-ion battery fire or explosion. Any damage or deterioration of the cells may increase the likelihood of a hazard occurring when your batteries are put back on charge.

A Storemasta lithium-ion battery cabinet can simultaneously charge multiple workplace batteries in a safe and protected environment. Storemasta offers an 8 and 18 outlet model of battery cabinet, which allows the user to charge up to 8 or 18 li-ion batteries – depending on the chosen model. The 8 outlet battery charging cabinet offers 2 fully adjustable shelves with 4 electrically certified power outlets on each shelf, while our larger 18 outlet model offers 3 shelves with 6 outlets on each.
