HOW TO ORDER ?

The rise of the electric bicycle requires storing lithium-ion batteries in your workshop. These can be new, recharging or even used batteries. These products can cause fires, which is why VAR offers you TRIONYX-ALL SAFETY French cabinets to store them safely. Their high quality safety cabinets are fire resistant for 105 minutes, in accordance with the European standard EN 14470-1 for 90 minutes.

OUR RANGE OF CABINETS

Steel construction and double triple wall thermal insulation.
RAL 9010 off-white epoxy paint.
Thermal insulation panels limiting thermal bridges
Melamine interior panels.
1 year warranty.

What are the dangers related to these batteries ?

Among the 50 potential accident scenarios identified by INERIS (National Institute of Industrial
and Risk Environment) throughout the various stages of the batteries life cycle, 12 were
considered critical.
They notably relate to the storage, charging and use steps. The most problematic consequence
of those risks are battery fire (or metal fire).
This is a significant risk because the fire caused by lithium-ion batteries cannot be put out in a
conventional way, the battery itself generating the oxygen molecules and heat necessary for
combustion. It can then only be switched off with the help of special powders, all in a confined
environment (at the risk of the powder losing its efficiency).

Where does those battery fires come from ?

By thermal runaway due to overload or exposure to excessive temperatures.
A battery usually supplies the energy stored chemically during discharge in the form of electrical energy. However, it may be that not all the energy is supplied as electrical power, thus causes overheating that can reach up to 7 to 11 times the energy stored electrically. Given the structure of the battery, the reaction itself strengthens and causes critical overheating. The materials that make up the the battery also releases bound oxygen, which further fuels the fire.

By complete discharge
Complete discharge due to the non-use of the battery for too long periods of time can damage the battery. If it is then exposed to temperatures that are too cold, it can cause decomposition of the electrolyte liquid and the formation of inflammable gases. The absence of liquid breaks the battery protection, leading to a short circuit or fire.

By mechanical damage
Shocks or misuse can damage the internal structure of the battery and lead to deterioration of the battery separator, leading to a short circuit or a fire.

HOW to store them safely ?

Medium-power lithium batteries (more than 100 Wh per battery).
Batteries in this category are used in electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric vehicles or various similar small vehicles.
Those must be stored in separate fire resistant enclosures (e. g. a fire room or a safety cabinet). They must not be stored with other products and this area must be the subject of constant monitoring. For larger stored quantities (area occupied at 60 m2) the indications for highpower lithium batteries apply.

WHO CAN realize the maintenance ?

TRIONYX's technicians are at your disposal in France to carry out preventive control of the risks associated with your cabinet : deterioration, storage advice, etc...
This intervention will be invoiced at 100 € excluding VAT (excluding travel costs). Following this check, if important parts need to be replaced (fire extinguisher used, damaged electronic equipment, ...) an additional intervention with a maintenance technician will be billed to you after validation of quotation.
As a reminder, the safety cabinet must only store lithium-ion batteries. The extinguisher should be changed after each use. Otherwise the extinguisher has a maximum life of 15 years.
We recommend that you request a check every 2 years or after a fire.

Should i do something during fire ?

Bring the cabinet outside (pallet truck) depending on the environment and call the fire department.
If your cabinet is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher so the fire will be extinguished. But you still have to wait for the arrival of the fire brigade to open the cabinet.
After a fire, an intervention is necessary to check the general condition of the cabinet as well as the gaskets and fuses.

Where can I throw used lithium-ion batteries ?

First, store them in the battery storage cabinet. Then you can request a pickup or drop them off at collection centers. To do this, you can contact dedicated organizations such as COREPILE or BATRIBOX.
