Lithium-ion battery storage cabinets

Why invest in an Emtez lithium-ion battery safety cabinet?
With a wide range of sizes at your disposal, select the perfect fit for your requirements, from our short cabinet designed to fit snugly under your desk or in your garage to the spacious, two-doored tall cabinet with ample room and enhanced charging capabilities to slot into your manufacturing facility. Ideal for a wide spectrum of applications, including batteries for power tools, e-bikes, e-scooters, drones, cosmetic appliances, and medical equipment.
Standard Safety Features
All cabinets are constructed entirely from 1-1.5mm thick cold-pressed sheet steel and are coated with anti-acid epoxy powder for added durability.Inside each steel wall, a specialised
insulation layer has been incorporated. This insulation comprises high-density fibre panels that are free from ceramic fibres. It’s intended to withstand high temperatures of up to 800°C
All cabinets are outfitted with an automatic hydraulic closing system that comes into play when temperatures rise beyond 47°C. This system serves the purpose of shutting the doors on its own, effectively serving as a measure to control fires and prioritise your safety.
All cabinets are equipped with anti-spark hinges that serve a dual purpose. These hinges not only improve door stability but also enhance safety by significantly reducing the risk of ignition from sparks. Additionally, each cabinet comes with height-adjustable feet to compensate for unevenness in the floor and ensure that the doors close easily.
All cabinets have been certified for 90-minute fire resistance according to the EN 14470-1 TYPE 90 standard. This means that in the event of a fire, they’ll provide 90 minutes of protection, giving ample time for the emergency services to arrive.
All cabinets feature two small grids for passive ventilation that can be found on the back wall. They are also equipped with closing valves. The back wall ventilation inlet closes at 47°C, the top ventilation outlet fire damper closes at 72°C.
Each unit is furnished with a key operated lock and a door block system, enhancing security measures to ensure your assets are protected.
European Standard | EN14470-1
All Emtez LithiumVault cabinets have undergone a destructive fire test conducted in an accredited independent laboratory and meet The European standard EN 14470-1 pertaining to cabinets that can be freely positioned or wall-mounted for storing flammable materials.
In the fire test, the cabinet’s wall is placed 100 mm away from the fire room wall. The cabinet’s fire resistance must be confirmed through a destructive test using an identical model. As well as protecting the contents of the cabinet from external fires, this fire-rating classifies the protection offered to your people and premises outside the cabinet from fires started within.
The temperature increase inside the cabinet should not exceed 180°C. Depending on the time it takes to reach this temperature, the cabinet is classified as Type 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes. These classifications ensure sufficient time for laboratory staff to evacuate and for firefighters to respond before flammable substances inside the cabinet pose a fire hazard. All Emtez LithiumVault cabinets have undergone compliance checks according to EN 14470-1 and hold certificates of tests conducted by Bureau Veritas (BV).
