Battery charging cabinet LOXK1100 VDMA – LOXXER HxWxD 760 x 1186 x 585 mm

The lithium battery cabinet LOXK1100 VDMA is designed for the safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries used in devices such as e-bikes, scooters, power tools, scanners, drones and communication devices. The cabinet creates a controlled environment that minimises the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, such as overheating, thermal reactions, fire and explosions. With its compact design, the integrated socket and the optional aerosol extinguishing system (at extra cost), the LOXK1100 offers a complete solution for the safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries in professional environments such as workshops, warehouses and industrial facilities. The LOXK1100 cabinet is certified according to VDMA 24994, a recognised German standard for fire-protected storage and charging solutions for lithium-ion batteries.

Fire detection:
The cabinet features a dual detection system that combines smoke detection and temperature monitoring to detect early signs of battery failure. Through the combination of both detection methods, the system can distinguish between harmless environmental influences and actual fire hazards. If smoke and an unusual temperature rise are detected at the same time, a serious battery incident is detected.

Alarm and notifications:
If a potential hazard is detected, the cabinet alerts nearby personnel via an integrated audiovisual alarm system. The notification system includes a high-intensity siren, a flashing optical indicator and an RGB status LED.
The cabinet uses two alarm levels to provide an early warning while reducing false alarms due to environmental influences.

A pre-alarm is triggered if either smoke or elevated temperatures (>60 °C) are detected inside the cabinet. This early warning immediately activates safety precautions and simultaneously notifies the personnel. In the event of a pre-alarm, the system carries out the following measures:
– Battery charging is interrupted
– The ventilation system is switched off
– A pulsating siren is activated
– The RGB status LED changes to warning status

A full alarm is triggered if smoke and an unusual temperature rise are detected at the same time, indicating a confirmed battery incident.
In the event of a full alarm, the cabinet activates maximum safety measures:
– The charging process is stopped immediately
– The ventilation remains switched off
– The siren sounds continuously
– The RGB status LED lights up red
Alarm signals can also be forwarded to the building's fire alarm panel, allowing for external monitoring and response. A mains connection is provided in the cabinet for this. If the cabinet is equipped with the optional aerosol extinguishing system (at extra cost), this is also activated automatically.

Safety construction:
The LOXK1100 cabinet consists of fireproof materials designed to contain battery incidents.
Two height adjustable, fireproof shelves divide the cabinet into three levels. Each shelf carries up to 70 kg and serves as a fire barrier to prevent vertical fire spread between the levels. The cabinet construction consists of materials of fire protection class A1 and complies with recognised fire protection standards.

Safety features:
The cabinet is equipped with active ventilation to keep the heat generation of the batteries within safe limits during the charging process.
A mains connection for an external exhaust air system is available to dissipate excess heat and overpressure.
The cabinet has a self-closing door with an integrated lock and door contact for safe operation. If the door remains open, the system signals this via the status LED and automatically stops the charging process after 60 seconds.
The cabinet also features adjustable levelling feet for a stable stand during operation as well as forklift openings on all four sides, so that it can be easily moved with a pallet truck in the event of a fault.

Integrated charging function:
The cabinet features an integrated 8-way socket for charging lithium-ion batteries inside the cabinet.
Model for EU:
Operating voltage 230 V, 1-phase, 16 A, maximum electrical output per cabinet 3,68 kWh.
Model for CH:
Operating voltage 230 V, 1-phase, 10 A, maximum electrical output per cabinet 2,3 kWh.

Optionally available at extra cost, see under accessories:
For additional protection, the cabinet can be equipped with an optional aerosol extinguishing system.
When activated during a confirmed alarm, the fire suppression system releases a dry aerosol within 1 – 2 seconds inside the cabinet. The aerosol interrupts the chemical combustion process at the molecular level and helps to bring lithium-ion battery fires under control in under 30 seconds. The aerosol disperses in all compartments of the cabinet, providing an additional level of safety in addition to detection, alerting and fire containment.
Can only be ordered in conjunction with a cabinet, factory fitted only.
