How to choose a lithium battery charging cabinet?

Since the risk of fire is particularly high during the charging phase, a charging cabinet should offer particularly high safety precautions, such as special fire protection seals and alarm functions. A shock-resistant plastic collection container is suitable for the collecting of intact lithium batteries.

Why should you choose a small battery charging cabinet?

A small cabinet size is therefore also completely in the spirit of what the fire brigade would prefer. That said, there is no need to forego flexible storage in terms of quantity: the battery charging cabinets from CEMO can be accessed from underneath and stacked, so they can be adapted and extended as required.

What should I do if a battery is damaged?

Damaged or defective batteries should be removed immediately from storage and production areas. A defect is often not visible and it is therefore not easy to assess the condition of a battery. To be safe, you should always store batteries of unknown condition in a separate quarantine store.

What happens if a lithium battery burns while charging?

Most lithium battery fires occur during the charging phase. Storing and charging batteries in the same place increases the fire risk in an emergency. If a lithium battery starts to burn during charging, this can lead to a chain reaction: The fire of the burning battery spreads to other lithium batteries.

What happens if a lithium ion battery is damaged?

This is especially true if the batteries are damaged. The greatest danger is if a short circuit occurs in the battery when fully charged. This is when the stored energy is at its greatest and therefore the effects of thermal runaway are also at their highest. The self-reinforcing reaction of the lithium-ion battery can lead to bursting.

How do you store a lithium ion battery?

In general lithium-ion batteries should always be removed from the devices they power and stored at 60-70% of the pack’s capacity. If a battery will go unused for three more days, it should be stored in a cabinet or larger store. Once disconnected, storing lithium-ion batteries follows similar principles as the correct storage of chemicals.
