Product information „Düperthal BATTERY standard line XL, Lagerschrank“
This safety cabinet is an innovative storage system for lithium-ion batteries. Düperthal has developed this innovative and DIN-certified cabinet system to prevent damage caused by faulty battery cells. Smoke gases in particular can cause permanent damage to surrounding electronic equipment. Düperthal’s BATTERY line cabinets protect you right from the start against this and other damage that can arise, for example, from lithium-ion battery cells experiencing thermal runaway. It is precisely the tested fire resistance from the inside out that makes this system particularly suitable for use in industrial settings.
Alarm signalling for Düperthal battery safety cabinets
As an option, Düperthal systems can be fitted with a potential-free contact for alarm signalling. Visual and audible signals, as well as remote signalling modules, are also available. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information on these systems: info@lion-care.com or +49 7151 256 4811.
Size, storage capacity and function of the battery safety cabinet
The standard range of the Düperthal BATTERY line is a storage system designed exclusively for lithium-ion batteries. If you are looking for a safety cabinet that also offers charging facilities, please refer to the ‘station’ range of the Düperthal BATTERY line.
Storage capacity of the Düperthal BATTERY standard line XL safety cabinet
The XL model has external dimensions of 1 194 x 612 x 2 051 mm (width x depth x height). Please refer to the dimensions sheet, which can be found in the downloads section, for the internal dimensions. The empty weight is 530 kg, with a maximum internal cabinet volume of 0.95 m³. The cabinet is designed to allow a pallet truck to be manoeuvred underneath for easier handling.
54 Ah per stored cell permitted
The maximum capacity of the individual lithium-ion cells that may be stored in the cabinet is 54 Ah. Please note that the 54 Ah does not refer to the entire battery, as each battery consists of several cells. This value covers the majority of batteries in use today. Each storage level has a load capacity of 75 kg. The spill tray at the base of the cabinet has a volume of 33 l. A video of the fire test carried out can be found in the ‘Videos’ tab.
One storage compartment per shelf level
In the XL version, the safety cabinet has four storage levels. This largest version is the model without a central partition.
Düperthal BATTERY standard line XL battery cabinet – safety of the highest standard
The safe storage of lithium-ion batteries was Düperthal’s top priority when developing this cabinet. The various safety mechanisms, designed to protect the environment in the event of a battery fire or even a battery explosion, are correspondingly comprehensive and sophisticated.
Fire resistance class F90 / Type 90 – 90 minutes’ protection in the event of a fire
If a lithium-ion battery catches fire, the surrounding environment must be reliably protected from the resulting hazards. Düperthal’s battery safety cabinets, such as the Düperthal BATTERY standard line XL safety cabinet presented here, have a fire resistance rating of F90 / Type 90, meaning they provide 90 minutes’ protection before the burning batteries cause damage to the surrounding area. Within these 90 minutes, the area can be evacuated, initial countermeasures taken using suitable battery fire extinguishers and extinguishing agents, and the fire brigade called, thereby ensuring optimum safety.
Double protection – for the environment and for the stored lithium-ion batteries
Unlike many other manufacturers of safety cabinets, Düperthal’s models undergo a dual fire resistance test. The F90 fire resistance rating applies both from the inside out and from the outside in. This means that not only is the environment protected if the batteries catch fire (protection from the inside out), but the lithium-ion batteries are also protected if a fire breaks out in the vicinity of the safety cabinet (protection from the outside in).
Intelligent locking mechanisms for the cabinet doors
The door remains open in any position; however, a cylinder lock with permanent locking can secure the hinged door. At a temperature of approx. 50°C inside the cabinet, the thermal activation of the automatic door closure ensures that the door closes automatically. A backdraft seal ensures that the door can no longer be opened. The fire service can open the doors using an emergency release mechanism on the top of the cabinet.
Exhaust vents close automatically from the outside in the event of a fire
The cabinet is fitted with an exhaust pipe with a nominal width of 110 mm and a 75 mm adapter. In the event of a fire outside the cabinet, the safety system closes the exhaust vents when the room temperature reaches approximately 70°C. Inspection hatches are incorporated above the false ceiling; these turn red when the exhaust air vents close. In the event of a fire inside the cabinet, the smoke gases are ‘forced’ into the cabinet and can be channelled to the outside via the exhaust air connection. Please note that the connection to the exhaust air system, as well as any materials required for this, are not included in the scope of supply or services. The connection to the exhaust air system must be provided by the customer.
Spill trays contain hazardous liquids
At the base of the battery cabinet there is a floor drip tray designed to collect any leaking liquids. Particularly when batteries are faulty, environmentally hazardous liquids may leak. For example, lithium-ion batteries contain electrolytes that pose a risk to both people and the environment. The drip tray integrated into the cabinet effectively retains these liquids.
Levelling ensures perfect stability
The levelling feet of the Düperthal BATTERY standard line XL safety cabinet are adjustable and allow for levelling. This ensures that the battery cabinet stands securely on virtually any surface.
Customisation and additional features available
Düperthal offers a wide range of customisation options and extensive accessories for the Battery-Line safety cabinets, allowing them to be perfectly tailored to your company’s specific requirements.
Cabinet doors available in other colours
The door is made of sheet steel in the colour PANTONE 389 C (yellow-green). Other colours are available on request. This allows the cabinets to blend seamlessly into your business environment.
Temperature monitoring, load-bearing adapters and much more
A connection to the fire alarm control panel can be established via a potential-free contact. Tested pipe penetrations are also available as an option. If loads are to be placed on the cabinet roof, load-bearing adapters are available for installation, ensuring that fire resistance is not compromised.
Certification and maintenance of the battery safety cabinet
There are currently no legal regulations governing the storage of lithium batteries / lithium-ion batteries. However, by purchasing this storage system, you will be optimally prepared for any future regulations. Lithium-ion batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods.
Comprehensive testing in accordance with DIN/EN 14470-1
These battery cabinet systems from Düperthal are tested as safety cabinets in accordance with DIN. Type tests have been carried out by MPA/TÜV SÜD in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1 (Fire resistance of safety cabinets for flammable liquids), DIN EN 16121 and DIN EN 16122 (test methods for determining the strength, durability and stability of storage furniture for residential and non-residential use) as well as DIN 31000 Damage Prevention in accordance with VdS 3103:2015-06. The BATTERY line safety cabinets are also certified as Type 90 in accordance with EN 14470-1. This means that the fire resistance of the cabinets has been type-tested and classified as exceeding 90 minutes.
Delivery and maintenance of the battery cabinets
Delivery of the cabinets is arranged to the point of use. Prior to dispatch, the customer’s delivery requirements are verified. Additional lifting equipment or similar may be required to install the cabinets. Please contact us before placing your order to clarify any special requirements.
Safety equipment must be inspected once a year by a competent person in accordance with TRBS 2103, in compliance with the BetrSichV, TRGS 526, TRGS 510, ArbStättV and the maintenance interval specified by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer Düperthal – a specialist in safety cabinets

Safe storage of lithium-ion batteries – increasingly important in the future
Lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, if used improperly, these batteries can pose a significant potential hazard during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing a suitable safety cabinet, you protect yourself right from the start against significant financial losses that could arise, for example, from battery fires.

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.
