Safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries

Securex Cape Town 2025 Power Management

Lithium-ion batteries power today’s industrial essentials, from forklifts, pallet jacks, and drones, to barcode scanners, cordless tools, and laptops. While efficient and reliable, they carry significant risks, including overheating, thermal runaway, and fire. Conventional flammable storage solutions often fail to adequately contain these hazards, leaving facilities vulnerable to costly incidents and downtime.

To address this, Lasec’s partner, asecos, developed the ION-LINE range of safety cabinets, engineered in Germany for demanding industrial environments. Purpose-built for both storage and charging, these cabinets provide robust fire resistance, ventilation, and containment, ensuring safe battery management where reliability and compliance are critical.
