Lithium-ion
batteries are powerful and sustainable energy sources, but they also pose
significant risks. If damaged or overheated, these batteries can ignite due to
a process known as thermal runaway, which can lead to explosions or a dangerous
fire. This makes it essential to store lithium-ion batteries safely.
Safety
First: VDMA 24994 Certification
The Batrea has been tested and certified according to the VDMA 24994 standard,
a European directive that defines the safety requirements for the storage of
lithium-ion batteries. The safe can withstand the intense heat and explosions
that can occur in the event of a battery fire. Thanks to its robust
construction, both flames and explosions remain contained within the safe,
ensuring the safety of the surrounding area. Depending on the model, the Batrea
offers 30 minutes (I/O30) or 60 minutes (I/O60) of fire protection, both
internally and externally.
Innovative
features for optimal control
The Batrea offers not only security but also advanced monitoring capabilities.
The control panel on the outside of the safe allows you to manage alarms and
receive timely warnings of potential hazards. The built-in ventilation system
ensures safe temperature regulation and air circulation of 30 m³ per hour,
minimizing the risk of overheating. Furthermore, the safe can be remotely
monitored via an app for status updates such as power consumption, temperature,
and smoke development.
Charging
capacity and temperature control
The Batrea supports charging lithium-ion batteries with a maximum charging
capacity of 3 kWh per level. When the internal temperature reaches 50°C, the
safe automatically reduces the power supply to prevent overheating. At 60°C,
the safe automatically switches off the charging process, providing additional
protection.
