Battery safety charging cabinet SiS Li-Ion Basic Charge EI 90 – LaCont without fire suppression system, HxW 1222 x 1148 mm

The LaCont LI-ION Basic Charge EI 90 battery cabinet is the ideal entry-level model for the active and passive storage of lithium-ion batteries, with a main focus on fire protection.

The robust overall construction, tested by the Materials Testing Institute (MPA) Dresden, has a fire resistance of 90 minutes from the inside and outside (EI90) in accordance with DIN EN 1363-1. Thanks to all-round fire protection seals that automatically foam up in the event of a fire, the LaCont LI-ION Basic protects against fires inside the cabinet, whereby the escape of smoke and toxic fumes is minimised. The aim here is to gain time for the evacuation of people in the vicinity and for the fire brigade to initiate firefighting measures.

Further standard equipment includes, among other things, an integrated ventilation system with a smoke detector and fan (to shut off the power supply), height-adjustable grid shelf levels with a load capacity of 75 kg each (with an evenly distributed load), a plinth that can be moved underneath with a cover panel for easy transport, as well as fire-resistant cable glands for customer-side installation of a fire detector or potential-free contact.

Construction made of non-combustible building material (class A2-s1, d0 according to DIN EN 13501-1) incl. coating (body aluminium-coloured / doors RAL 1023 – traffic yellow), sump tray made of zinc plated sheet steel, 17 litre sump capacity.

Control unit of the SiS Li-Ion Basic Charge EI 90:

– Fault message via optical signal and shutdown of the ventilation system, as well as extinguishing generator with power-independent triggering in case of fire and impermissible temperature increase
– Automatic shutdown of the fan integrated in the cabinet upon smoke detection
– Optical status display informs about the current status of the cabinet (fire detection, ventilation unit, socket strips)
– In the event of a fire, the ventilation unit is automatically shut down to reduce air circulation
– The power supply can be manually interrupted in the event of a fire by pressing the mains switch on the control unit
– No standard acoustic alarm in the event of a fire – subsequent installation of a fire detector or potential-free contact by the customer is possible, through fire-resistant cable glands present in the cabinet
– Nominal voltage 230 volts, fuse protection 1-phase 16A

How it works for the model with a fire suppression system (aerosol extinguishing generator), with power-independent triggering in case of fire or an impermissible temperature increase from 180 °C:
The triggering of the solid material contained in the extinguishing generator creates an aerosol of solid and gaseous particles. These spread throughout the entire cabinet in milliseconds, displacing oxygen, diluting flammable gases and starting the extinguishing process. Thus, the aerosol intervenes in the chemical chain reaction of the fire process, among other things by displacing oxygen, and interrupts it. If the fire suppression system is not triggered, the maintenance-free service life is 10 years.
