Battery Management

Battery Management

While industry is becoming more reliant on lithium-ion batteries, the risks associated with these powerful cells must be understood and controlled to mitigate harm to people, property and the environment.  

You may find lithium-ion batteries in a vast range of devices, equipment and tools in your workplace, including laptops, mobile phones, e-vehicles, marine craft, industrial robots, production equipment, drones and medical devices. 

Battery Management for Your Workplace

Classified as a Class 9 Miscellaneous Article, lithium-ion batteries must be operated in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. These cells must also be stored, handled and transported in a safe environment to control the risk of ignition, explosion or hazardous material leakage. 

Storemasta have developed an Australian-made range of lithium battery solutions to reduce lithium-ion battery risk for your operations including Battery Charging Cabinets, Outdoor Battery Stores and Battery Energy Storage Containers (BESC).
