Ensure Safety and Compliance with DENIOS: Superior Storage Solutions for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Storing lithium-ion batteries safely
Understanding the proper storage of lithium batteries is crucial for conducting business safely. Whether storing small quantities of low-power batteries or significant amounts of powerful lithium-ion batteries, ensure that your insurance coverage is comprehensive and that employees, premises, and the environment are protected. Additionally, it is necessary to prevent damage to stored lithium batteries due to improper storage. Our systems offer internal and external structural fire protection and additional plant fire protection equipment to safely store lithium-ion batteries and comply with legal requirements for every application. Ensure safety with DENIOS.
Storing and Charging Lithium Batteries Properly
Storing lithium ion batteries while charging lithium-ion batteries requires special attention due to the heightened risk of thermal runaway, especially if defective batteries are subjected to incorrect charging voltages or settings. Consequently, constant monitoring during charging is essential for insurance coverage. Our storage cabinets provide comprehensive protection, including 90-minute fire resistance from external sources, a tested liquid-tight spill sump made of powder-coated sheet steel to contain leaks from burning batteries, doors that close automatically, and high-quality, oil-damped door closers.
Charging cabinets for lithium-ion batteries
The asecos lithium-ion charging and storage cabinets provide a secure and ideal solution for daily charging equipment and tool batteries. Each cabinet model comes with integrated grounded sockets to connect chargers. SmartStore charging cabinets feature technical ventilation to prevent overheating. They are available in various proven sizes, from larger units with up to 60 slots to compact and space-saving under-bench models. Some models include a locker system for secure, separate charging of lithium-ion batteries. A standout feature of all cabinets is the 90-minute fire protection, both internally and externally. Select models boast an integrated 3-stage warning and fire suppression system for added safety during battery charging. An intelligent sensor system, equipped with a smoke detector and temperature sensor, triggers an alarm upon smoke detection, which can be linked to the building management system through a potential-free contact.
We are excited to present our newest product: a 2-door storage cabinet with up to 6 shelves, designed to optimize lithium battery storage and improve workflow efficiency. This allows for the consolidation of batteries in one secure spot, simplifying your operations.
Handling defective lithium-ion batteries correctly
Various events and external influences can damage lithium-ion batteries. For example, through mechanical damage, improper storage, or faulty charging. The problem: defective lithium batteries harbour an extremely high-risk potential. In particular, lousy lithium-ion batteries have a high risk of "thermal runaway," an unstoppable chain reaction leading to fire or bursting. To protect your employees, production facilities, and the environment in the event of a response, faulty lithium-ion batteries must be separated immediately and stored safely until they can be disposed of properly. The DENIOS range offers the following solutions in these instances:
Quarantine boxes for damaged lithium-ion batteries
DENIOS provides specialized storage and transport boxes designed for quarantining defective lithium-ion batteries. These containers are constructed from plastic, aluminum, steel, or stainless steel and come in various sizes, with custom dimensions available upon request. They are filled with fire protection agents, like PyroBubbles®, a certified extinguishing agent for solid and liquid flammable substances, available as loose granulate or in PE cushion form. Tailored to the lithium-ion batteries' risk assessment, performance, and condition, these quarantine boxes meet specific safety standards, guard against exothermic reactions, and ensure up to 100% control over potential thermal runaways. Additionally, many of these containers are also approved for transporting defective, damaged, or critically faulty lithium batteries, making them practical for storage and subsequent transportation.
Transporting lithium-ion batteries in compliance with the law
Lithium batteries are categorized under UN numbers 3090/3091 for lithium metal batteries and UN 3480/3481 for lithium-ion batteries, classified as Class 9 dangerous goods. They are regulated as hazardous materials during transportation, necessitating adherence to specific packaging requirements. Typically, UN-approved transport packaging is required for shipping lithium-ion batteries via road, rail, sea, or air. The transport containers must also be appropriately designed and approved, meeting specific packaging guidelines as per ADR regulations. DENIOS offers transport solutions that adhere to these regulatory standards.

Transport boxes for lithium-ion batteries
The DENIOS range provides an approved transport solution for every type of lithium battery, whether it's a prototype, part of a small series, undamaged, damaged, defective, critically defective, or destined for recycling. Our premium transport boxes for lithium-ion batteries, crafted from plastic, aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, come in various sizes and can be customized to specific dimensions upon request. Lithium batteries' safe and compliant transportation is guaranteed using suitable filling materials. Different models utilize various fire protection agents as filling material. For instance, PyroBubbles®, a certified extinguishing agent for solid and liquid flammable substances, has been tested positively by MPA Dresden by DIN EN 3-7. This expanded glass granulate can be placed directly into the transport box or within practical PE filling cushions. Alternatively, some models employ fire-resistant absorbent padding made from textured glass fibers to encase the lithium-ion batteries securely.
Professional testing of lithium-ion batteries
Before the market release of newly developed lithium batteries and the products they power, such as household appliances, tools, or electric vehicles, comprehensive testing is required. The creation of a safe testing environment must consider numerous customer-specific factors. DENIOS specializes in designing lithium test rooms that are tailored almost exclusively to your unique specifications, offering the advantages of cost-efficient mass production, personalized design, and expertise in fire safety.
Test rooms for lithium-ion batteries
DENIOS is dedicated to constructing rooms that meet your specific needs and provide the utmost safety, particularly for testing lithium energy storage devices. The process begins with a personal consultation and a detailed needs analysis. Our engineers collaborate with you to create the ideal concept, considering factors such as spatial requirements, location (whether indoor or outdoor), equipment, and safety features. A comprehensive team of experts then crafts a custom solution that meets your specifications with holistic expertise and competence. "Made by DENIOS" signifies the highest quality from a single source.
The primary purpose of a test room is to simulate stress conditions. Simulating these conditions for lithium energy storage demands functionalities from the test environment that depend on the process. DENIOS test rooms provide customizable equipment options, enabling the simulation or facilitation of various load scenarios within the space.
DENIOS's diverse range of equipment allows for the construction of lithium test rooms tailored to your requirements. For instance, our test rooms now include a new option for temperature test chambers, which can be adjusted from -40°C to +110°C, offering extended testing capabilities across a broader temperature spectrum.
DENIOS's service commitment to you includes providing a complete turnkey system. We handle the installation, integrate it with your equipment, or offer our facilities for your interior setup.
