Lithium-Ion Battery Store – Introducing Electrovault Lithium-Ion Battery Storage
Our Electrovault storage units are made to comply with RC61 guidelines for Battery storage and can be tailored to suit your specifications. Fully customisable to any size, no size too big or too small.
Optional extras include:
Over two billion Lithium-ion cells are produced every year, but major safety concerns surround battery storage, quarantine procedures, transport/disposal of damaged batteries and thermal runaway. During a thermal runaway, the high heat created by the failing cell can develop to the next cell, causing it to also become thermally unstable. A battery pack can be destroyed within minutes or last for hours as each cell runs away. An irreversible thermal event in a lithium-ion battery can be initiated in several ways, by spontaneous internal or external short-circuit, overcharging, external heating or fire or even mechanical abuse.
During a thermal runaway hydrogen fluoride HF, phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5) and phosphoryl fluoride (POF3) are released, studies have shown that using water as a fire suppressant may also increase the formation of HF.

To ensure the safety of people and property, we have created a safety storage solution for Lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have many risks of which the most known and the most frequent is ‘thermal runaway’ which can be due to a rise in the temperature of the environment, a shock, or a problem with the assembly of the battery.
When charging lithium-ion batteries heat can be generated, if this heat output is too high, a fire may occur, for example, if the lithium-ion battery, charger or cable is defective. Another major risk factor is thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries. To combat this major issue we introduced a lithium-ion battery cabinet.
If you have larger battery storage needs perhaps you need to look at our Electorvault range.
ionGuard – Emergency Response Battery BoxesChemstore is proud to introduce its latest innovation, the ionGuard. A lithium-ion battery box thermal runaway suppression system. The ionGuard uses a natural mineral-based extinguishing agent to neutralise any lithium-ion battery fires.
The ionGuard can be custom made to fit any battery size, fully bespoke to your lithium-ion battery storage needs.
The battery box housing unit has a 2mm solid sheet steel floor to allow easy loading of the damaged battery pallet by forklift. As well as, Rockwool insulation under the floor level for improved thermal retention.
Once closed, the integrated hopper can be opened manually to dump the mineral-based extinguishing agent to encase the battery with a 150mm thick layer. The hopper locking mechanism will be fitted with fusible links to open in the event of thermal runaway allowing the extinguishing agent to be deployed automatically.
The Chemstore ionGuard is designed to be used with an infill product. PyroBubbles® are an ideal filling agent and they offer compliance to UN3480 & UN3090. To read more about PyroBubbles click here.
The environmentally friendly, mineral-based extinguishing agent used for firefighting and prevention of problematic fires including metal, lithium-ion battery cells, and combustible liquids. The small lightweight spheres are composed of non-crystalline glass granulates repurposed from recycled glass with tiny pores on the inside. The engineered formulation of grain sizes produces optimal fire suppression results and can be adjusted for varied industrial applications.
Like glass, the granules melt at a high temperature. The granulates absorb heat in the process of melting, cooling the fire while forming an impervious glass layer over the fire load. A reaction with oxygen is prevented.
Chemstore expands lithium-ion battery storage range with BSK-1Chemstore, the leading expert in hazardous materials storage and a trusted specialist in lithium-ion battery safety, has introduced the BSK1 – Battery Charging and Transport Case. This innovative solution ensures the safe charging, storage, and transport of lithium-ion batteries.
The BSK-1 fire has been developed to meet the highest safety standards for lithium-ion battery storage and transport. Its unique cable gland design allows users to safely charge their batteries within the case, ensuring maximum safety and convenience. The case’s lightweight and robust construction, coupled with its easy handling, makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Affordablility: BSK-1 is available for less than £500 per unit
• Fire-resistant interior fittings: Derived from cutting-edge fire and explosion protection technologies, including dust-free PyroBubbles cushions.
• Maximum protection: The case maintains an outside temperature below 100 °C, with no emission of flames or splinters in the event of an emergency, providing top-tier protection for people and their surroundings.
• High dielectric safety: Suitable for strong power tools or defective batteries, ensuring versatile use.
• Tested technology: Developed according to the latest hazardous goods technology and successfully tested in real-time fire scenarios.
• Capacity: Accommodates a maximum dangerous goods weight of 8 kg with inner dimensions of 520 x 320 x 245 mm.
There has been a significant rise in the use of lithium-ion batteries globally, driven by the growing popularity of power tools, electric vehicles, and portable electronics. However, this surge in usage has also led to a concerning rise in lithium-ion battery fires, with UK fire services attending 46% more fires linked to lithium-ion batteries in 2023 than 2022. The impact of lithium-ion battery fires can be devastating; a factory fire in South Korea in June 2024, involving exploding lithium-ion batteries tragically resulted in 22 fatalities and highlights the urgent need for reliable and safe storage solutions .
As the go-to experts for lithium-ion battery storage, Chemstore has become the preferred partner for industry leaders across multiple sectors, including construction, education, logistics and motorsport, where the demand for safe battery storage is paramount.
The BSK-1 represents the latest addition to Chemstore’s expanding range of lithium-ion battery storage solutions, which includes safety products at every stage of the process when working with lithium-ion batteries, including: –
Mike Brodie, Managing Director of Chemstore, commented on the launch: “The BSK1 – Battery Charging and Transport Case is a simple yet effective solution to the increasingly common problem of safely charging, storing, and transporting lithium-ion batteries. Whether for power tools, ebike/escooter charging or defective batteries, the BSK-1 offers peace of mind that batteries are protected.”
“We are thrilled to expand our lithium-ion battery storage offering, reinforcing our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that address the evolving needs of our customers and ensure the highest safety standards.”
