Versatility in Safety: Spill Doctor’s Lithium Battery Storage Boxes
At Spill Doctor, we deliver innovative and reliable safety solutions for industries across South Africa. Our mission is to supply top-tier products that prioritize workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection. Among our advanced offerings, our lithium battery storage boxes stand out as a versatile and comprehensive solution for storing lithium-ion batteries safely and compliantly.
The development of our lithium battery storage boxes exemplifies our commitment to precision and collaboration. Partnering with one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers, we worked closely with their engineers, both locally and internationally, to design a solution that addresses the unique risks of lithium-ion batteries. By combining Spill Doctor’s safety expertise with the engineering input of specialists, we created a product that meets stringent safety standards while aligning with the client’s operational needs. The lithium battery storage boxes are designed to withstand extreme conditions and ensure the highest level of safety. With a 2-hour fire rating, they provide crucial protection in the event of a fire, offering a critical window for emergency response.
A standout feature of our lithium battery storage boxes is the integration of vermiculite, a naturally fire-resistant material. Inside each box, vermiculite is lined and covered with a protective cloth. In the rare event of a fire within the box, the cloth burns away, releasing the vermiculite onto the flames. This immediate action suppresses the fire by reducing oxygen availability and controlling heat, ensuring that any fire is extinguished before it can escalate.
In a groundbreaking first for South Africa—and possibly worldwide—we conducted a live fire test using a third-party testing company. A vehicle battery was placed inside a Spill Doctor lithium-ion storage unit and deliberately ignited to fully assess the effectiveness of our design. The video footage, captured from inside the unit, clearly shows the fire igniting and being extinguished in as little as 30 seconds. We believe this may be the only lithium-ion storage box worldwide that has been tested in a “live” scenario, and we are extremely pleased with the results. The success of this test reinforces the exceptional safety and reliability of our design in handling lithium battery fire scenarios.
Our lithium battery storage boxes are more than just products—they are meticulously designed safety systems built to protect your workplace, employees, and assets. Backed by our expertise and commitment to excellence, we ensure that every solution is tailored to your specific needs and delivered with unmatched professionalism.
