Charge and store your lithium-ion batteries with Safe Options’ collection of cabinets and storage. Our extensive range includes VDMA 24994:2024-08 certification, which means a product has been tested to meet the highest European standards to safely charge and store lithium-ion batteries providing the total Wh (watt hours) battery storage capacity the safe is suitable for is not exceeded. Our VDMA 24994:2024-08 certified safes offer the containment of an internal fire caused by a battery explosion and will also protect the contents from an external fire. However, non-VDMA certified models are NOT independently tested and certified to contain an internal fire but are certified and tested to protect the contents from external fire. Our range ofstorage is specifically designed to ensure protection from fire damage, with real-time visible temperature monitoring and ventilation ducts, as well as up to 2 hours of fire protection. Be safe - protect yourself from the serious effects of lithium-ion battery fires with help from our range of secure safes and cabinets.

Fortunately for you, within our vast collection you can find a cabinet that secures the perfect balance. For example, part of the range includes cabinets that feature air duct ventilation, tested fire resistance, and even an internal temperature monitor - so you can be sure your lithium battery is safe at all times.

Lithium-Ion Battery Cabinets & Storage FAQs
Why do you need fire protection in your lithium-ion battery cabinets and safes?
Rechargeable batteries present many risks, including thermal runaway caused by a rise in temperature, impact damage, or faulty manufacturing. As a result, the battery could ignite and cause a flammable explosion that can be extremely difficult to extinguish and cause major damage to life and buildings.
Lithium-ion batteries for both e-bikes and e-scooters are prone to this and can be dangerous if charged at home without fire protection. That’s why it’s important to purchase a fireproof cabinet to ensure the utmost security.
In the unlikely event this occurs, most fire services recommend:
Do not try to tackle a fire involving lithium-ion batteries yourself; dial 999 and ask for the fire service
Make sure you have smoke detectors that are tested on a regular basis
Do not charge lithium-ion batteries at night or in the room where you sleep
Think about how you will get safely from where you sleep out of the house, and do not charge anything on that route
If you damage a battery, for example, by crashing a bike, check it for signs of damage and replace it if you have any doubts
Do not charge a damaged battery
Use professional installers if you want to retrofit a bike with a battery and get second-hand items properly checked
Buy replacement chargers from a trusted retailer and never use a counterfeit charger
Why are lithium-ion batteries prone to overheating?
Due to the highly flammable and reactive materials they contain, lithium-ion batteries are classified as dangerous goods - and are prone to overheating. Therefore, the location in which you store them must ensure that heat is regulated.
This is so that in the event a damaged battery does explode or catch fire, the impact is contained to the inside of the battery’s environment.
Lithium-ion batteries have now become a part of our everyday lives, from power tools and e-bikes to laptops and warehouse equipment; they have become essential to keeping things up and running.
