New Zealand Field Operation Battery Storage Cabinet Hybrid Type

Ideal for domestic use (e-scooters, e-bikes and power tools), and smaller businesses, commercial workspaces, laboratories, workshops and building sites. This unit keeps the potentially highly flammable batteries contained and away from people and property. . For larger businesses, this Lithium-ion battery cabinet makes the most of the clever double-wall, sheet steel design, which provides a thermal air defence to slow the advance of any battery fire. Whether from impact, overcharging, or internal fault, even small battery packs can pose a significant hazard — especially when stored in bulk. On the outside – 2 x 304 Stainless Steel latches join the doors together to become one – mitigating the chance of the doors blowing open in a multi – battery. . Lithium-ion batteries will undoubtably play a significant role in New Zealand workplaces and lifestyles for some time into the future.
