Battery Storage

Solar energy storage systems

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in residential and commercial energy storage. While compact and efficient, they require controlled storage conditions.

Improper storage or charging can lead to overheating, ignition, or explosion. Batteries should be stored in cool, ventilated environments away from sunlight and allowed to cool after use. Storage temperatures between 10°C and 27°C are generally recommended.

For larger battery volumes, purpose-built storage cabinets and suppression systems provide containment and reduce fire spread, protecting people and infrastructure.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

BESS installations support renewable integration and distributed energy networks. These high-capacity lithium-ion arrays introduce complex failure modes that require layered engineering controls.

Effective BESS risk management includes:
• Early thermal and gas detection
• Active cooling or suppression systems
• Ventilation and explosion risk management
• Fire separation and containment
• Integrated emergency monitoring

No precaution eliminates lithium-ion risk entirely. Effective protection requires layered safety: early detection, containment, cooling, and specialised suppression.

Encapsulating cooling agents such as F-500 EA represent one proven solution among a growing portfolio of global technologies. Our approach is not limited to one chemistry or manufacturer. We continually evaluate emerging solutions worldwide to match protection to risk, including new suppression agents, engineered systems, and hardware innovations.

Fire-resistant storage, designated charging zones, detection cameras, suppression systems, and engineered response strategies work together to reduce escalation and support safe evacuation.

No single product eliminates risk. Safetycomes from systems working together.
