Schneider SC-V4-1 Lithium-Ion Fire Prevention Cabinet

Safe storage and charging of larger lithium-ion batteries, including the Seabob with charger.

The Schneider SC-V4-1 (150 cm) lithium-ion fire prevention cabinet is the largest safety cabinet in the series and was designed for the safe storage and controlled charging of lithium-ion batteries. Thanks to its spacious interior dimensions, items such as a Seabob—including its charger—can be placed inside the cabinet and charged safely.

Prevent battery fires through early detection and automatic shutdown

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-1 (150 cm) was developed based on a preventive approach to lithium-ion battery safety: detect and take action before a battery fire breaks out.

Lithium-ion batteries can produce small amounts of gas during the initial stage of degradation. This so-called off-gassing can occur even before heat or smoke is detectable and before thermal runaway sets in.

The Schneider Containment continuously monitors these gases. With a detection sensitivity starting at 1 PPM per second The first signs of a defective battery cell can be detected very early on.

As soon as abnormal battery behavior is detected, the system automatically intervenes and the Power supply to the charger interrupted. This stops the flow of energy to the battery and prevents the charging process from causing further degradation. The goal is to intervene before the battery reaches critical temperatures and progresses to thermal runaway and fire.

If, despite this preventive measure, a battery continues to deteriorate, then the explosion-proof construction, ventilation, gas filtration, and integrated fire suppression systems additional layers of security.

Thanks to the SC-V4-1’s spacious interior dimensions, it is also possible to Seabob with charger included be placed entirely within the secure environment. As a result, the charging process itself also takes place inside the continuously monitored safety cabinet.

MOST IMPORTANT BENEFITS

Early detection at the cellular level

Continuous off-gas monitoring detects abnormal battery behavior starting at 1 ppm per second, allowing problems to be identified before thermal runaway occurs.

Automatic Shut-Off of the Charger

As soon as abnormal battery behavior is detected, the power supply to the charger is automatically cut off. This stops the flow of energy and helps the system prevent the situation from escalating into a battery fire.

Multiple layers of security

In addition to preventive detection and shutdown, the system features additional safety measures for containment, ventilation, gas filtration, and fire suppression in the event that an incident does escalate.

Seabob with charger included

The spacious SC-V4-1 is large enough to safely store a Seabob, along with its charger, inside the cabinet. This allows the Seabob to be stored, monitored, and charged within a protected environment.

Technical specifications

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-1 (150 cm) combines safe storage, controlled loading, early detection, and automatic intervention into a single integrated security system.

With a usable interior space of 1,300 × 550 × 550 mm The SC-V4-1 offers sufficient space for larger lithium-ion devices. A key example of its application is a Seabob with charger included, which can be fully placed inside the safety cabinet and charged.

During charging, the system continuously monitors for early signs of battery degradation. If abnormal battery behavior is detected, the power supply to the charger is automatically interrupted. This stops the flow of energy before the situation can worsen.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Detect. Shut off. Prevent fires.

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-1 (150 cm) creates a controlled environment in which lithium-ion batteries and equipment such as a Seabob with charger included can be safely stored and loaded.

During charging, the system continuously monitors for the first signs of battery degradation. As soon as abnormal battery behavior is detected, automatically cut off the power supply to the charger.

This stops the flow of energy and ensures that action is taken as early as possible to prevent a faulty battery from escalating further toward thermal runaway and fire. The integrated containment, ventilation, filtration, and fire suppression systems provide additional layers of safety should an incident continue to escalate.

APPLICATIONS

Designed for larger equipment such as Seabobs

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-1 (150 cm) is specifically designed for larger lithium-ion devices used on board superyachts.

Thanks to its spacious interior dimensions, a The Seabob, including the charger, should be stored entirely inside the cabinet. This means the battery does not need to be removed from the equipment for charging, and both storage and the charging process take place within a monitored and secure environment.

In addition to Seabobs, the cabinet can be used to store various other lithium-ion batteries and electrical equipment on board.

safety approach

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-1 (150 cm) is part of a A multi-layered safety approach for lithium-ion batteries, with a focus on preventing battery fires.
The first layer of security is early detection. The system continuously monitors off-gassing to detect abnormal battery behavior as early as possible, even before a situation escalates into thermal runaway.
The second layer of security is automatic intervention. As soon as abnormal battery behavior is detected, the Power supply to the charger automatically interrupted. This stops the flow of energy to the battery and allows for early intervention to prevent further degradation and escalation toward thermal runaway and fire.
The third layer of security is containment. Should a battery continue to degrade despite this preventive measure, the explosion-proof design, active ventilation, gas filtration, and integrated fire suppression systems provide additional layers of safety to contain the consequences of the incident within the system.
For example, the Schneider Containment SC-V4-1 combines early detection, automatic intervention, and containment within a single integrated safety system. The primary objective is not only to control the consequences of a battery fire, but above all take action before a fire breaks out.
