Over two billion Lithium-ion cells are produced every year, but significant safety concerns surround battery storage, quarantine procedures, transport/ disposal of damaged batteries and thermal runaway. During a thermal runaway, the high heat created by the failing cell can develop to the next cell, causing it also to become thermally unstable. A battery pack can be destroyed within minutes or last for hours as each cell runs away. An irreversible thermal event in a lithium-ion battery can be initiated in several ways, by spontaneous internal or external short-circuit, overcharging, external heating or fire or even mechanical abuse. Electrovault provides an ideal battery storage solution.
Our Electrovault storage units are made to comply with RC61 guidelines. We can tailor your Electrovault battery storage solution to suit your specification, whether that is:
Atex Rated Temperature control
Fire Suppression Systems
Atex Rated Gas detection systems
Fire Rated (including all Atex internal electrical components where required)
Atex Rated Humidity Control
Atex Lighting
Remote monitoring systems
FIFO control operations
LIFO control operations
Fire-rated and segregated Quarantine areas
Restricted access control
Fully automated extraction systems
