May 9, 2022Lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to deliver power from a compact size. Although they are used in a vast range of equipment, from handheld devices to cars, they are not as harmless as they appear, requiring special handling and care.
DENIOS, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of storage containers for hazardous materials, introduces Lithium-Ion Stations. Designed specifically for storing lithium-ion batteries, they are ideal for storing new, questionable, damaged, defective, or End-of-Life lithium-ion batteries typically found in small handheld devices. Available in two standard sizes, they allow the storage, storing and transportation of batteries from 1 KG to 10KG up to 100W, which are typically used in power tools, e-bikes, medical devices, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, forklifts, cars, and more.
With 2 hours of fire resistance, and integrated forklift pockets for easy relocation, these purpose-built containers protect against fire hazards due to thermal runaway, deep discharge, mechanical deformation, or chemical reaction. Each unit includes thermo-dissipative media (class D fire), and visual identification on all sides to alert emergency personnel of contents and hazards. These Li-Ion Battery Stations protect employees, facilities, and the environment. They follow guidelines within NFPA 704, IFC 608, FM 5-55 and applicable EPA regulations. DENIOS Lithium-Ion Battery Stations are ideal for manufacturers incorporating Li-ion batteries into their products, as well as facilities using them.
Every DENIOS Lithium-Ion Battery Station features solidly welded construction for a long service life, with integrated vents for passive ventilation. Lockable, hinged lid and doors keep the contents safe from unauthorized personnel. Shelving and fire extinguishers are optional.
The worldwide leader in hazardous material storage, DENIOS has extensive experience with lithium-ion batteries. They are the only supplier with a comprehensive range of solutions to store, charge, recycle, and test lithium-ion batteries of all sizes.
