Product overviewThe Safe Pro battery cabinet by LaCont is a GS-certified Pro model designed for safe storage and optional charging of lithium‑ion batteries in industrial and commercial environments. The cabinet passed a real-fire test and provides 90 minutes fire resistance to protect personnel, limit fire spread and allow emergency response time.
Key features- GS certification (MPA Dresden) audited to EK5 / AK4 22-01; tested with installed lithium‑ion batteries.
- Fire resistance: 90 minutes (tested from outside in and inside out).
- Self-closing doors with long-term functionality testing (DIN EN 16121 / DIN EN 16122).
- Smoke-tight construction and perimeter seals that foam automatically in case of fire.
- Built from non‑combustible materials with protective coating (body RAL aluminium / doors RAL 1023 traffic yellow).
- Visual and audible status indicators and alarms as standard.
Facilities and optional equipment- Optional integrated aerosol extinguishing generator activating on critical temperature rise or fire.
- Integrated power strip options for organised charging at each storage level (each level can accept a strip with 10 earthed sockets).
- Integrated floor pan (drip tray) compliant with AwSV (powder-coated steel, 5 L) to contain hazardous liquids from cell damage.
- Mechanical ventilation to prevent heat build-up during charging; ventilation automatically shuts off in case of fire.
- Control unit with smoke detection, visual status indicator and potential-free contact for external signalling; on fire the unit cuts power and ventilation and triggers alarms.
- Automatic door closer: doors close and lock on fire to ensure the 90-minute enclosure function.
- Base with 100 mm clearance for pallet truck/forklift access; removable plinth panel.
- Height-adjustable mesh shelving; load capacity 75 kg per level; number of grating floors: 4.
Quality and safety- Manufactured in Germany and engineered for operational safety in industrial/commercial sites.
- Designed to minimise risk from release of explosive or toxic gases and to signal critical internal conditions to personnel and emergency services.
