Product information „CEMO storage cabinet 8/5 LockEX 2.0“
Matching Stack Feet for the Battery Storage Cabinet
For optimal use of the battery storage cabinet, we recommend the matching stack feet set for storage and charging cabinets. To order this directly, please choose the corresponding variant.
Often, in restricted storage spaces, the problem is that there is no space for large security cabinets for storing lithium-ion batteries or they are too inflexible when space conditions in the warehouse change at short notice. CEMO offers the optimal solution here, which can be expanded at any time and can also be adapted to the needs of your operation.
Please feel free to contact us if you need an individual offer.

Tested and verified according to VDMA Unit Sheet 24994:2024-08
According to VDMA 24994, the energy density 3021.2 Wh in total and 1510.6 Wh per storage level must not be exceeded.
VDMA 24994 is a testing standard specifically for fire-resistant storage cabinets intended to securely store lithium-ion batteries. It tests whether the cabinet withstands a so-called Thermal Runaway, i.e., dangerous overheating and self-ignition of the battery. It is important that the cabinet does not emit flames or toxic gases to the outside and that the door does not open under pressure. This standard helps companies significantly increase safety when storing lithium-ion batteries and is regarded as an important benchmark increasingly recognized by manufacturers and insurers.
Equipped with the CEMO lockEX 2.0 closure
With lockEX 2.0, CEMO presents the latest evolution in hazardous materials storage. Designed for the highest safety requirements, the system offers effective protection without time limits – far beyond the market-standard 90 minutes.
The design is based on an intelligent spring mechanism that, in the event of an explosion of a damaged Li battery, gently opens the cabinet doors to relieve the resulting pressure, and then immediately closes them again securely.
Particularly important is the protection granted by the patent at the German Patent and Trademark Office. In expert circles, it has long been known that lithium batteries can cause not only flames and explosive burning of individual cells, but also a gas explosion due to leaked cell fumes. This represents the worst-case scenario of a battery fire, as it can, in case of doubt, ruin the entire protective effect and thus be the most decisive criterion in the risk assessment.
CEMO lockEX combines fire protection and explosion protection in one product and provides a reliable solution for handling potentially dangerous battery fires.
The progression of a battery fire is effectively interrupted by the lockEX technology. Even before a thermal runaway begins, an explosion can occur. If the cabinet housing yields or the doors open, the protective effect can be lost immediately, and the burning cells and battery packs are unimpededly hurled into the surroundings at the installation site.
The lockEX mechanism from CEMO ensures that the explosion pressure formed inside the cabinet is effectively managed. This advanced NO-BANG technology guarantees the unrestricted preservation of the protective effect, even in the worst-case scenario of a battery fire.
Well-equipped in case of a malfunction
Especially critically damaged lithium-ion cells can pose a serious danger to persons and operating facilities in a fire (“Thermal Runaway”). Dust produced by these fires can settle on circuit boards of production and operation devices and cause permanent damage. This storage cabinet has a smoke-proof fire resistance rating of 60 minutes from inside to outside in accordance with DIN EN 1363-1. A real battery fire test was conducted with an independent university. Fresh air intake and exhaust openings automatically close in case of a fire. The doors should always remain closed during storage.
Ruggedly built
The storage cabinet is built from robust, fire-resistant components. Special fire protection gaskets prevent flame passage, and it features a cold-smoke-tight closure system for the openings. The doors are double-leaf and lockable with sturdy latching and mounting. The door paint is orange, similar to RAL 2004, and the body is gray, similar to RAL 7035.
Portable use
The cabinet is portable via the side carrying handles. With the optional stack feet, the cabinets can be optimally stored up to a height of 3 units. The stack feet also make them drivable on wheels. Optionally, the cabinet can be equipped with a fire-resistant and tested cable gland to connect to the building’s fire alarm system.
Guidelines
There are currently no legal regulations for storing lithium batteries / lithium-ion cells. Only VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH provides general safety rules for damage prevention in its publication VdS 3103:2019-06 (03). It is advisable to clarify your requirements in advance with your property insurer.
The Manufacturer
The CEMO GmbH from Weinstadt stands for safe storage with imagination and action for more than 60 years. The company is a pioneer in the field of modern transport and storage container technology and is one of the market leaders in this area.
Future-oriented
Lithium-ion batteries will be indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, used improperly, the batteries pose a significant hazard in manufacture, storage, and transport. By purchasing this storage cabinet, you secure yourself against larger financial damages from the outset.

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.
