The Batteryguard lithium-ion fire resistant battery cabinet offers the solution against battery fires thanks to a solid fire-resistant construction. An EN 15659 LFS60P-certified cabinet with fire-resistant properties is used as the basis. In these cabinets you can safely store and simultaneously charge (bicycle) batteries.
Damage inside the battery can be caused by dropping the battery or bumping it against something. This damage will not be visible on the outside. For additional safety, you can equip your Batteryguard battery cabinet with an automatic fire suppression system.
The cabinets covered by the technical specification have been designed to contain the hermetic lead-acid electric accumulator batteries.
The use of these lithium-ion batteries is not without risk. More and more often, reports are appearing in the media that fire and damage have occurred when charging these risky (bicycle) batteries. The problem is that you cannot tell from the outside whether a battery is broken - and therefore a fire hazard.
After one of the Domino's branches burned down due to a battery igniting, the need for a fireproof battery cabinet became quickly apparent. Now, the batteries of the electric delivery bicycles are all safely stored away in the Batteryguard lithium-ion battery cabinet.
However, damage or a manufacturing defect can cause a chain reaction, also known as 'thermal runaway', in which the battery catches fire and, in the worst case, can even explode. Damage inside the battery can be caused by dropping the battery or bumping it against something. This damage will not be visible on the outside.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
