Product information „CEMO Storage Cabinet 8/20 LockEX 2.0“

Brief overview

The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 storage cabinet is a safety cabinet designed for the stationary indoor storage of lithium-ion batteries. It is particularly suitable for workshops, industrial, service and storage areas where large quantities of rechargeable batteries need to be stored in a protected and physically segregated manner.

The fire- and explosion-resistant design combines passive fire protection measures with an acoustic fire detection system and the LockEX 2.0 pressure relief system. Two cabinet compartments, each accessible separately, allow for the organised storage of lithium-ion batteries and facilitate the integration of the cabinet into existing storage and safety systems.

Safety and protection features

The battery-operated smoke alarms provide an audible warning should a fire be detected. No external power supply to the cabinet is required for this.

The LockEX 2.0 locking system is designed to provide controlled pressure relief in the event of an explosive pressure build-up inside the cabinet. The spring mechanism allows the doors to open in a controlled manner to release pressure and then close again automatically.

The storage levels are designed to prevent fire propagation and thus help to limit the spread of fire between individual batteries or battery modules. Automatically closing air inlets and outlets, as well as fire-resistant seals, complement the structural protective measures.

Areas of application

The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 storage cabinet is designed for the storage of lithium-ion batteries in commercial and industrial indoor environments.

Typical applications include:

  • Industrial and manufacturing facilities
  • Workshops and service areas
  • Trades businesses
  • Warehouse and logistics areas
  • Research and development
  • Storage of power tool batteries
  • Tool and machine batteries

The division into two independently accessible cabinet sections enables the batteries in storage to be organised in a structured manner. With a total of eight storage levels, the cabinet offers a correspondingly high storage capacity whilst occupying a comparatively compact floor space.

Approvals / Standards

The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 storage cabinet has been tested in accordance with VDMA Standard Sheet 24994:2024-08.

Notes on use

The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 is designed purely as a storage cabinet without a charging function and is intended for indoor installation. This model does not feature a power connection or mechanical ventilation.

Specific use and installation should be carried out as part of the workplace risk assessment and in accordance with the relevant fire safety plan. For connection to an existing fire alarm system, the cabinet can be optionally fitted with a fire-resistant cable gland.

Conclusion

The CEMO 8/20 LockEX 2.0 storage cabinet offers a fire- and explosion-resistant solution for the stationary indoor storage of large quantities of lithium-ion batteries. The division into two separately accessible cabinet sections and a total of eight storage levels enables the structured use of the available storage space. The combination of fire detection, pressure relief and propagation-preventing storage levels supports the integration of battery storage into existing operational and fire safety concepts.

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.
