Product overviewThe LaCont SiS Li-Ion Basic battery cabinet is an entry-level industrial solution for passive storage and optional active charging of lithium-ion batteries. Designed primarily for fire safety, the cabinet provides certified EI90 protection for both interior and exterior exposures and integrates features to limit propagation of thermal runaway and contain leaked fluids.
Key features- Certified complete structure with 90-minute fire resistance rating inside and outside (EI90, tested to EN 1363-1).
- Constructed from non-combustible building materials (Class A2 – s1, d0 per EN 13501-1). Body in aluminium colour; doors in RAL 1023 (traffic yellow).
- Perimeter intumescent seals that foam automatically in case of fire.
- Lockable swing-lever doors with double-bit cylinder.
- Integrated mechanical ventilation with smoke detection and fan; ventilation automatically shuts off on smoke detection (standard).
- Fire‑resistant cable entries top and bottom for retrofitting detection/alarm systems.
- Smooth‑operating doors with 180° opening angle (non-self-closing).
- Base with 100 mm clearance for forklift/pallet truck access and removable base panel.
- Height-adjustable grating shelves; load capacity 75 kg per shelf; standard configuration includes 4 grating floors.
Options & integrated equipment- Basic Store: passive storage variant with ventilation and smoke detection; no integrated power strips or control unit.
- Basic Charge: active charging variant fitted with power strips (up to 10 sockets / total up to 3.5 kW) and an optional control unit with visual status indicator.
- Optional aerosol fire‑extinguishing generator that activates automatically on critical temperature rise or fire.
- Optional active fire suppression system with power‑independent activation on fire/over‑temperature.
- Integrated floor pan (17 litres) to contain leaked liquids in case of cell damage and built‑in surge protection.
- Control unit with smoke detection and potential‑free contact for building management system integration.
