Lithium-Ion Battery Storage Safes

A Lithium-Ion Battery Safe provides a controlled, fire-resistant environment designed specifically for these risks. Built to contain and control thermal runaway, these safes safeguard your workplace or home, protecting life and premises until a fire is completely extinguished.

Why Safe Storage and Charging of Lithium-Ion Batteries Matters

Businesses and individuals now handle increasing numbers of rechargeable batteries often kept on workbenches, shelves or improvised charging stations. Without a purpose-built solution, this creates serious hazards:

• Increased fire risk: loose or damaged batteries are more prone to failure.
• Uncontrolled charging: charging without containment or fire resistance invites danger.
• Lack of early warning: without internal smoke detection, fires can spread before being noticed.

A Battery Safe allows both storage and charging in one secure enclosure reducing fire risk, providing early warning, and keeping your environment compliant and protected.

Certification That Matters: VDMA 24994 vs EN 14470 vs BS 1946

Not all fire-resistant enclosures are equal. Traditional EN 14470 cabinets are designed to protect from external fires moving inward giving 60, 90 or 120 minutes of protection before contents ignite. This is ideal for flammable liquids but not for lithium-ion batteries, where the fire originates inside the unit.

VDMA 24994, by contrast, tests the safe’s ability to contain a fire from within. In certification trials, a battery cell is deliberately forced into thermal runaway inside the safe. To pass, the safe must:

• Prevent flames, sparks and molten material from escaping.
• Maintain safe external temperatures.
• Stay sealed and structurally intact under pressure.

Our BS 1946 certification now officially confirms our safes can safely contain energy up to 22,500 Wh, demonstrating performance far beyond standard cabinet designs. This means full containment not delay of internal fires, offering genuine life and property protection until the fire is extinguished.

Key Features of Lithium-Ion Battery Safes

• Fire- and impact-resistant double-wall steel construction — engineered to contain internal battery fires safely.
• Safe internal charging — built-in power supply allows you to charge batteries within the safe, safely and neatly.
• Smoke and temperature detection — early warning in case of overheating or smoke build-up.
• Multiple sizes and locking options — from compact units to large industrial models, with key or electronic access.
• Organised interiors — adjustable shelving and drawers to keep batteries accessible and secure.

Benefits of Choosing a Certified Lithium-Ion Battery Safe

1. Life and property protection
   Contains internal battery fires completely until extinguished — not just delayed.
2. Charge and store with confidence
   Safely charge multiple batteries inside the fire-resistant enclosure.
3. Proven certification
   Independently tested to VDMA 24994 and BS 1946 (up to 22,500 Wh) far exceeding EN 14470 standards.
4. Peace of mind
   Focus on work knowing your batteries are secure in a purpose-built, certified safe, not a cabinet.
5. Compliance and best practice
   Demonstrates commitment to the highest safety standards and insurer-approved practices.

Invest in True Safety

Lithium-ion batteries are valuable — and volatile. Whether you manage a few or hundreds, choosing Battery Safe ensures protection that standard cabinets simply can’t offer.

With full fire containment, built-in charging capability and certification to VDMA 24994 and BS 1946, our safes are designed to protect life and premises until the fire is completely extinguished.

Don’t compromise on safety — choose a certified Lithium-Ion Battery Safe and safeguard your people, your property, and your peace of mind.
