OverviewThe SiS Li-Ion Basic battery cabinet from LaCont is an entry-level solution for active and passive storage and optional charging of lithium‑ion rechargeable batteries. The product prioritises fire protection and containment to limit the effects of a battery incident on people and the surrounding area.
Key features- Certified complete structure with 90 minutes fire resistance for internal and external exposure (fire resistance class EI90, tested to EN 1363-1).
- Constructed from non-combustible building materials (Class A2 – s1, d0 according to DIN EN 13501-1); body in aluminium colour, doors in RAL 1023 (traffic yellow).
- Perimeter fire protection seals that automatically expand/foam in case of fire.
- Doors lockable with a double‑bit cylinder lock (swing lever).
- Integrated ventilation system with smoke detector and fan; mechanical ventilation and smoke detection are standard; ventilation shuts off automatically in the event of a fire.
- Fire‑resistant cable entries at top and bottom for retrofitting alarm wiring or power feeds.
- Smooth‑opening doors with 180° opening angle; doors are non‑self‑closing.
- Base with 100 mm clearance underneath for pallet truck/forklift access; removable base/plinth panel.
- Storage levels provided by height‑adjustable grating (load capacity 75 kg per shelf); standard number of grating levels: 4.
- Integrated floor pan (17 litres) to contain leaked liquids and prevent environmental contamination.
- Surge protection included as standard.
Options & accessories- Optional integrated aerosol fire‑extinguishing generator that activates automatically in case of critical temperature rise or fire.
- Optional power strip(s) installed in the cabinet (used in Charge variants) enabling organised charging of multiple batteries simultaneously (configurable: 0 / 2 / 4 outlets).
- Optional control unit with fire detection and visual status indicator; control unit can provide a potential‑free contact for forwarding signals to a control centre.
- Optional active fire suppression system with power‑independent activation on fire or unauthorised temperature rise.
Certifications & conformity- Fire resistance testing and certification in accordance with DIN EN 1363-1 / EN 1363-1.
- Certification/report documented by MPA Dresden.
Protection objectives- Contain fire inside the cabinet to provide time for evacuation and initiation of firefighting measures.
- Protect stored batteries from external fire events and reduce risks from the stored goods to surrounding personnel and installations.
