Safety first: the game-changing guideline for lithium battery storage

The PGS 37-2 guideline for the storage of lithium batteries has been published. This directive provides detailed guidelines and regulations for the storage of lithium-containing energy carriers, with the aim of ensuring safety and minimizing risks. It is very important to be aware of this guideline, as lithium-containing energy carriers are increasingly used in various applications.

When a lithium-ion battery ignites, extinguishing the fire is not a solution. The chemical process going on in the battery must come to an end itself. The only solution is to make the fire manageable.

The Dupa BATTERY-Line complies with these guidelines. You can compartmentalize the lithium-ion batteries in the BATTERY cabinets, so you can minimize a chain reaction between different lithium-ion batteries. The doors close automatically, even if a fire breaks out inside the cabinet! An important extra in the storage of lithium-ion batteries that can ignite independently in the event of malfunctions. The battery fire remains in the cabinet, doors remain closed and the toxic flue gases are removed because there is ventilation in each compartment (compartments are thermally insulated).

There is also a possibility to charge, there are 4 charging stations per compartment. The BATTERY cabinet in combination with the charging stations is fully certified and fire resistant for 90 minutes.

By following the guideline, you can take the right measures to ensure safe storage of these energy carriers. Make sure you are aware of the PGS 37-2 guideline or get informed.
