Battery charging cabinet LOXK2000 VDMA – LOXXER HxWxD 2040 x 1142 x 765 mm

With this cabinet, you do not only protect your batteries, but also your environment from fire risks. The lithium battery cabinet LOXK2000 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, including overheating, thermal reactions, fire and explosions. The LOXK2000 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 combining 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 recognised.

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 when smoke and an unusual temperature rise are detected simultaneously, 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, enabling external monitoring and response. A mains connection is provided in the cabinet for this purpose. If the cabinet is equipped with the optional aerosol extinguishing system (at an extra cost), this is also activated automatically.

Safety construction:
The LOXK2000 VDMA cabinet is made of fire-resistant materials designed to contain battery accidents.
Four height adjustable, fire-resistant shelves divide the cabinet into five compartments. Each shelf carries up to 70 kg and serves as a fire barrier to prevent vertical fire spread between levels. The cabinet construction consists of materials of fire protection class A1 and complies with recognised fire protection standards.

Integrated charging function:
The cabinet features four integrated trailing sockets of 8 x 230 V per shelf, so that several lithium-ion batteries can be charged simultaneously in the cabinet.

Model for EU:
– 1-phase with CEE7/7 plug, operating voltage 230 V, 1-phase 16 A, maximum electrical power per cabinet 3,68 kWh.
– Optional, see below under accessories, with operating voltage 400 V, 3-phase 3 x 16 A, maximum electrical power per cabinet 11,04 kWh.
Model for CH:
– 1-phase with type J 13 plug, operating voltage 230 V, 1-phase 10 A, maximum electrical power per cabinet 2,3 kWh.
– Optional, see below under accessories, with operating voltage 400 V, 3-phase 3 x 10 A, maximum electrical power per cabinet 6,9 kWh.

Optionally available at an extra cost, see accessories below:
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 on a molecular level and helps to bring lithium-ion battery fires under control in less than 30 seconds. The aerosol disperses into all compartments of the cabinet and provides 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.
