Which industries use lithium-ion battery safes?
These safes are widely used in sectors including:
- E-bike and scooter retailers
- Warehousing and logistics
- Facilities management
- Renewable energy providers
- Laboratories, universities, and research centres
- Construction and industrial equipment services
What’s the difference between the BS1280, BS0440, BS1930, and BS1940 series?
- BS1280 Battery Titan Series: Entry-level, ideal for small-scale battery storage with passive protection features.
- BS0440 Battery Fighter Series: Offers enhanced fire resistance and a compact design, suitable for high-traffic storage areas.
- BS1930 Battery Commander Series: Advanced storage with active safety systems like fire detection and venting.
- BS1940 Battery Commander Pro Series: Premium model, VDMA 24994 certified, featuring the highest level of protection including certified fire containment and integrated safety monitoring.
What is VDMA 24994 certification?
VDMA 24994 is a German safety standard for the storage of lithium-ion batteries. It ensures the safe containment of fire and explosion risks. The BS1940 Commander Pro Series meets this rigorous standard, giving users peace of mind for high-risk environments.
Can batteries be charged inside the safe?
Yes, our battery safes are have built-in charging ports allowing batteries to be charged securely within the safe.
Does my Battery Safe need ventilation?
Larger units and those conforming to EN 24994 standards require dedicated ventilation either to an external area or to an unoccupied space. In contrast, smaller, non-certified safes store smaller batteries and are designed to facilitate evacuation of the area if necessary. These units are not intended to incorporate ventilation features.
Are the safes fireproof?
Yes, all Phoenix battery safes offer varying levels of fire resistance, with higher-end models (BS1930 and BS1940) offering certified fire containment and thermal insulation for optimal protection.
What sizes or capacities are available?
The safes come in multiple sizes, from compact units for small battery packs to larger cabinets for storing multiple or industrial-sized batteries. Capacity details are listed on each product page.
Do I need professional installation?
While smaller units may not require professional setup, larger safes (like the BS1930 and BS1940) are best installed by a qualified technician, especially if integrated charging or fire suppression systems are included.
What happens in case of a battery fire inside the safe?
Phoenix safes are designed to contain and isolate fires, prevent spread, and allow safe venting of gases. High-end models also feature fire suppression compatibility or automatic alerts depending on your system setup.
How do I choose the right safe for my needs?
Consider:
- Number and size of batteries
- Whether you’ll charge batteries in the safe
- Risk level of your environment
- Compliance needs (e.g., VDMA certification)
You can also contact our expert team for personalised recommendations.
Are the safes compliant with UK and EU regulations?
Yes. Phoenix battery safes meet or exceed relevant UK and EU safety guidelines. The BS1940 Commander Pro Series goes further with VDMA 24994 certification.
Can these safes be integrated with existing fire or security systems?
Some models, especially the BS1930 and BS1940, can be integrated with building fire alarm or monitoring systems. Check with our technical support team for integration options.
What kind of maintenance do the safes require?
Periodic visual inspection and functional checks are recommended. If your safe includes fire detection or electrical components, we advise annual servicing by a qualified technician.
