Lithium-ion battery fires in the workplace are dangerous and can happen without warning, especially while batteries charge. This side-by-side comparison video details two lithium-ion battery fires. The fire on the left is a battery sitting on a shelf with no containment measures. The other fire takes place within the new Justrite Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Cabinet model 231703. This innovative cabinet features our proprietary 9-Layer ChargeGuard™ Containment System, which effectively contains the fire within the cabinet and prevents it from spreading to the rest of the workplace, limiting its damage.
The ChargeGuard system includes a double-wall welded steel construction, vented door panels, reinforced steel door latch plates, and double-layer wire-mesh flame arrestors to trap heat and flames. It also has spring-loaded dampers, a unique filtration system, and heat-activated expanding door seals to address toxic smoke and gases. This cabinet is designed to maintain a cool environment, with a compact benchtop design and lockable doors.
