Problem this group solves

When a site needs to separate small volumes, batteries awaiting inspection or associated packaging, the priority is to move lithium-related risk away from the rest of the operation without taking up a large area.

General description

Not every industrial facility needs a large lithium battery storage building. Many companies need a compact, safe and suitable solution for storing batteries, lithium modules or charging equipment while maintaining a high level of fire protection.

Conterol compact REI120 containers have been specifically developed to meet these needs. With fire resistance of up to 120 minutes and a robust design, they help reduce the risks associated with lithium battery storage in industrial environments.

Thanks to their small footprint and modular design, these containers provide an effective solution for improving lithium battery safety while optimising the available space.

Recommended uses

  • Low- to medium-capacity battery storage areas.
  • Lithium battery charging areas.
  • Maintenance and repair workshops.
  • Quarantine areas for damaged batteries.
  • Electric mobility applications.
  • Technical centres and after-sales service.

Main benefits

  • Fast implementation on industrial sites.
  • Physical separation of lithium-related risk.
  • Compact format for areas with limited space.

Technical basis and manufacturing assurance

  • Industrial structure with REI 120 classification.
  • High fire protection for lithium-ion batteries.
  • Safety accessories configurable according to the risk assessment.
  • Natural or forced ventilation.
  • Fire detection.
  • Air conditioning and heating.
  • Interior lighting.
  • Shelving and storage equipment.
  • Access control.
