To avoid serious incidents such as battery fires and explosions, we recommend installing a battery charging and storage cabinet to control risk. However, most people still aren’t fully aware of how a cabinet can reduce these risks. In this post, we’ll be looking at 5 of the key features found in a battery cabinet.
Battery charging cabinets are a type of safety cabinet that’s designed especially for lithium-ion batteries. Over the recent years, as the prevalence of lithium-ion batteries has grown in workplaces, battery cabinets have become more popular due to the many risk control measures that they provide.
Battery cabinets are generally constructed with a durable, non-combustible material such as sheet steel. The steel construction reduces risk in a multitude of ways, including providing a non-flammable surface for battery charging. It also helps create a solid structure to protect battery cells from excessive heat and flames.
Battery charging cabinets should be constructed with perforated shelving, to assist with the cooling of the batteries while they’re on charge. However, you must also ensure that your power points (and electrical systems) are in good condition.
As lithium-ion batteries have been known to ignite when being recharged, it’s important to have a charging station that is free from faults and electrical malfunctions. Battery cabinets are constructed to have intrinsically safe electrical work that reduces the risks associated with recharging.
If batteries aren’t handled, charged and stored in the correct way, it can increase risk. For example, dropping a battery or leaving it in a hot location can result in irreversible damage to the battery cell, which can lead to ignition or explosion.
