LOXK2000 safety cabinets

Enhanced Safety: Lithium-ion batteries pose a risk of fire or explosion if overheated, overcharged, or short-circuited. The LOXK2000 cabinet is specially designed to provide additional protection by confining the batteries in a fire-resistant space (from inside or outside the cabinet) for 90 minutes, thus limiting the risks to people and property in the event of an incident. The cabinet has two “self-closing” doors that can be locked by a key with multi-point locking, two smoke detectors, and a temperature sensor. In the event of thermal runaway, an AF-X aerosol device is activated to cool the battery and control the fire. In the event of a rapid evacuation, the cabinet is equipped with adjustable foot supports and can be moved via all four sides using a pallet truck. When the temperature in the cabinet exceeds 50°C, the charging process automatically stops and an alarm sounds. This prevents overheating and reduces the risk of fire. The approved fire panel (EN12094) ensures proper connection to your existing SSI fire panel. Optional alerts are available via SMS and email, and the MYLOXXER platform allows for complete monitoring of the safety cabinet (temperature, smoke detection, door status, location, maintenance data, etc.).

Efficient Organization and Management: Comprised of 4 tool-free, repositionable perforated shelves, the LOXK2000 cabinet provides a convenient and organized way to store and manage lithium-ion batteries. It helps maintain accurate inventory, facilitates access to batteries when needed, and minimizes the risk of damage caused by improper handling or storage.

Battery Life Preservation: Storage conditions affect the life and performance of lithium-ion batteries. The safety cabinet provides a controlled environment, protected from temperature fluctuations (forced ventilation), excessive humidity, and other environmental factors that can harm the batteries. This helps extend their life and maintain their long-term efficiency.

Reminder of battery storage rules:
– Store in a separate fire-resistant area or at least 5 m apart.
– The storage area must prevent heat buildup and protect the batteries from all external heat sources, including sunlight.
– Used or damaged batteries must be kept away from traffic or work areas.
– The storage area must be continuously monitored by a suitable fire detection system.
– In the event of a fire, extinguishing agents must be appropriate for the nature of the fire.

In summary, using the LOXK2000 safety cabinet for charging and storing lithium-ion batteries offers a safe, regulatory-compliant, organizationally efficient, and financially beneficial solution. It is an essential investment to ensure the safety, reliability, and sustainability of lithium-ion battery operations.
