Product information „CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinet“
Brief overview
The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinets are safety cabinets designed for the stationary storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries indoors. With eight storage levels, six shelves and a total of 36 slots, the large 8/20 model offers sufficient capacity for the separate storage and simultaneous charging of a large number of batteries. The division into two sections, each of which can be opened independently, facilitates a structured use of the cabinet’s interior.
The fire- and explosion-resistant design combines passive fire protection measures with mechanical ventilation, fire detection and the LockEX 2.0 pressure relief system. Depending on the required level of safety and monitoring, the Basic and Premium versions are available. Both variants feature four 9-way power strips with a total of 36 sockets and are available with either a 230 V or 400 V power supply.

Safety and protection features
The integrated fire detection system provides an audible warning should smoke be detected. Whilst the Basic version is fitted with a battery-powered smoke detector, the Premium version features a mains-powered smoke detector. In both variants, temperature monitoring is carried out via a thermal fuse.
The LockEX 2.0 pressure relief system is a standard feature of both versions and serves to relieve pressure should it rise inside the cabinet. The fire-retardant partition levels are designed to limit the spread of a fire between individual battery modules.
The division of the cabinet into two sections that can be opened independently of one another allows for physical separation within the cabinet. In addition, the charging cabinets are fitted with mechanical ventilation and a door contact switch.
The premium version also offers, via the potential-free contact, the option of connecting to a central fire alarm system or existing safety infrastructure. According to the current product data sheets, an independent alarm relay function is not integrated.
Areas of application
The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 charging cabinets are designed for the storage and simultaneous charging of lithium-ion batteries in commercial and industrial indoor environments.
Typical areas of application include:
- Industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Workshops and service areas
- Trades businesses
- Warehouse and logistics areas
- Research and development
- Charging and storing tool batteries
- Tool and machine batteries
With eight storage levels and a total of 36 slots, the 8/20 model is particularly suitable for applications where a large number of batteries need to be stored and charged simultaneously. The two compartments, which can be opened independently of one another, allow for additional organisation of the cabinet’s interior space.
The choice between 230 V and 400 V allows the charging infrastructure to be adapted to the required electrical power. The premium version, with its potential-free contact, also offers the option of integration into existing operational safety concepts.
Approvals / Standards
Tested in accordance with:
- in accordance with VDMA Standard Sheet 24994:2024-08

FAQ
Standard security cabinets are designed for indoor use, so they cannot be used outdoors.
The fire protection panels installed in the cabinets contain gypsum, which contains a lot of water, which expands when frozen. This deforms the panels. It can no longer be guaranteed that such a cabinet is still sealed or can withstand an explosion.
If you already have a suitable room that is structurally fire-resistant, then you do not necessarily need a safety cabinet to contain the fire.
However, please do not forget that the damage caused by a battery fire involves immense and also toxic contamination, the disposal of which can quickly lead to high costs.
In addition, you may not be able to continue working as usual until the damage has been finally repaired - depending on the location of the damage.
