Guide to Battery Cabinets for Lithium-Ion Batteries: 6 Essential
This guide explores six key factors to consider when purchasing a battery cabinet for lithium-ion batteries. Whether you''re looking for fire protection, safe charging options, or the
You should ensure all storage cabinets for lithium-ion batteries are rated for fires starting from inside the cabinet. Without this, the protection is inadequate. The cabinet must withstand an internal fire for at least 90 minutes; it must be tested and approved to SS-EN-1363-1 for internal fire. 2. Ensure that your cabinet as integral ventilation

To avoid thermal runaway and subsequent fire risk, lithium-ion batteries must be stored and charged in the correct conditions. Hot air should be vented constantly to prevent overheating. Integrated ventilation is essential as it removes any heated air generated. The gases from thermal runaway and lithium-ion fires are highly toxic. 3.
In recent years, companies have adopted lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) which provide an essential source of backup transitional power. UL and governing bodies have evolved their respective requirements, codes, and standards to match pace with these new technology developments.
