SiS Li-Ion Basic Store EI 90 battery safety storage cabinet – LaCont without fire suppression system

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

The robust overall construction, tested by the Material Testing Institute (MPA) Dresden, has a fire resistance of 90 minutes from inside and outside (EI90) according to DIN EN 1363-1. Thanks to circumferential, self-foaming fire protection seals in case of fire, the LaCont LI-ION Basic protects against fires inside the cabinet, whereby the emission of smoke and toxic fumes is minimised. The aim here is to gain time for the evacuation of people in the vicinity and the initiation of extinguishing measures by the fire brigade.

Further standard equipment includes an integrated ventilation system with smoke detector and fan (for power supply cut-off), height-adjustable grid shelf storage levels with a load capacity of 75 kg each (with evenly distributed load), a plinth with a cover that can be driven under for easy transport, as well as fire-resistant cable glands for customer-side installation of fire detectors or potential-free contacts.

Construction made of non-combustible building material (Class A2-s1, d0 according to DIN EN 13501-1) including coating (body aluminium coloured / doors RAL 1023 – traffic yellow), galvanised sheet steel sump, 17 litres collection volume.

Functionality when equipped with a fire suppression system (aerosol extinguishing generator), with power-independent activation in case of fire or impermissible temperature increase from 180 °C:
By activating the solid contained in the extinguishing generator, an aerosol of solid and gaseous particles is created. These spread throughout the cabinet in milliseconds, displacing oxygen, diluting flammable gases and thereby 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 activated, the maintenance-free service life is 10 years.
