Akkuschränke / Batterieschränke
Akkuschränke are specifically designed for the safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries. Depending on the installation site, energy amount, and usage (storing or charging), different requirements for fire protection and fire resistance apply.
Whether a cabinet may stand outdoors, in a hall, or in a garage, and when a design without fire resistance is sufficient, depends on the individual framework conditions and applicable regulations
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.
