Battery Management

Collection: Battery Management

While industry is becoming more reliant on lithium-ion batteries, the risks associated with these powerful cells must be understood and controlled to mitigate harm to people, property and the environment.  

You may find lithium-ion batteries in a vast range of devices, equipment and tools in your workplace, including laptops, mobile phones, e-vehicles, marine craft, industrial robots, production equipment, drones and medical devices. 

Battery Management for Your Workplace

Classified as a Class 9 Miscellaneous Article, lithium-ion batteries must be operated in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. These cells must also be stored, handled and transported in a safe environment to control the risk of ignition, explosion or hazardous material leakage. 

Storemasta have developed an Australian-made range of lithium battery solutions to reduce lithium-ion battery risk for your operations including Battery Charging Cabinets, Outdoor Battery Stores and Battery Energy Storage Containers (BESC).

Outdoor Lithium-ion Battery Stores

Outdoor Lithium-ion Battery Stores

The outdoor storage of lithium-ion batteries poses many challenges for workplaces who rely on these efficient energy sources. From heat and sunlight affecting the safety of the battery to incompatible substances and the unpredictability of climatic conditions, it’s vital that cells are stored in a way that minimises the risk of lithium-ion battery fires, impact damage and flammable electrolyte leaks. Safe Outdoor Storage for Lithium-ion Batteries To create the safest possible workplace, our inhouse team at Storemasta have developed Outdoor Battery Stores that come equipped with a range of standard features. These Li-ion engineering controls were designed to reduce the risk of batteries igniting in the harsh outdoor environment, as well as provide indicators and alarms to alert staff to any fire hazards. Outdoor Battery Stores come with 6 heavy duty, weatherproof charging outlets and IP 66 rated plugs to ensure safe battery charging. Features of Storemasta Outdoor Lithium-ion Battery Stores  Controlling emerging risks means developing stores that go above and beyond the standard options for dangerous goods storage. The Storemasta range of lithium battery outdoor storage includes a wide range of safety features including: Hazardous area rated HVAC systems – for temperature-controlled storage that is suitable for flammable substances, including lithium-ion batteries Intrinsically safe electrical – offering the safest way to charge your Li-ion batteries within a controlled and protected environment Over temperature indicator – this feature allows staff to monitor anomalies within the store, so that higher than expected temperatures, such as those caused by thermal runaway or fire, are known Visual and auditory alarm – with both a visual and auditory alarm system in place, your workplace will be alerted if there is a hazard within the Outdoor Lithium-ion Battery Store

Dangerous Goods Fire Suppression Systems

Dangerous Goods Fire Suppression Systems

When you’re storing dangerous goods with flammable or combustible properties, there is a fire risk that must be identified and controlled. However, if a chemical fire breaks out, will you have time to activate your fire protection systems?  Implementing a Dangerous Goods Fire Suppression System in your Battery Cabinets, Safety Cabinets or Outdoor Chemical Stores is an effective way of suppressing a chemical fire as soon as it breaks out.   Fire Suppression for Chemical Fires  Due to this need for state-of-the-art fire protection, Storemasta now offers the FirePro® Automatic Fire Suppression System.   The FirePro® system is a cutting-edge solution that has been developed and tested to control chemical fires and is ideal for Safety Cabinets, Battery Charging Cabinets and other small risk areas in your workplace.  This aerosol system suppresses a fire by inhibiting the chain chemical reactions present in combustion on a molecular level.  Should the environmental temperature within the Chemical Storage Cabinet or Outdoor Chemical Store reach 180°C, the generator will automatically discharge, suppressing the fire.   Storemasta’s range of Automatic Fire Suppression Systems include both monitored and non-monitored options. The Fire Suppression solutions are available in Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large sizes that can be installed in your Storemasta storage equipment.

What is Battery Management?

Battery Management is about controlling the risks with your workplace batteries. Just like the risk management practices for dangerous goods, you must be able to identify hazards, assess risks, then control the risk and sustain compliance.

What are the risks associated with batteries?

Lithium-ion batteries are a particular risk in the workplace due to a range of factors, including thermal runaway, flammable electrolyte leaks and battery fires. Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to heat and extreme temperatures, and may become dangerous if they are damaged, aged, short circuited or subjected to water.

How are lithium-ion batteries used in the workplace?

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in various applications such as portable electronics, electric vehicles, industrial robots and medical devices due to their high energy density and long cycle life. The applications for these batteries is increasing as the popularity of this energy source grows.

How do you control lithium-ion battery fire risk?

Multiple layers of protection are required to minimise the risk of lithium-ion battery fires. Hazard awareness and training, battery storage, safe charging practices, alarm systems, fire suppression and battery transport units are just some of the controls which can help reduce the likelihood and impact of a battery fire.
