Charge batteries in a L-Ion

Amongst suppliers offering products to address the issue of lithium-ion battery storage and safety is Selectequip. 

At the recent Rail Live exhibition held in Stratford-upon-Avon, the company showed a 10ft by 8ft version of its L-ION Pod, a vandal-resistant steel container with a ten-point locking system and lined with fire-resistant material to give a one-hour passive fire rating. Other sizes can be made to order. 

Designed for outdoor storage, the unit has two 32A charging circuits along with shelving for tools and equipment. In the event of a fire, visual and audio alarms are activated and the charging system shuts off automatically. 

Voice and text messages can also be sent to preset phone numbers in the event of an incident. 

Selectequip is also an authorised dealer for the indoor battery charging and storage products from the company asecos, mentioned previously on the blog.
