Schneider SC-V4-2 Lithium-Ion Fire Prevention Cabinet

Detects battery problems early and automatically takes action before a fire breaks out.

The Schneider SC-V4-2 (100 cm) lithium-ion fire prevention cabinet is an advanced safety cabinet designed for the safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries. The system continuously monitors the batteries and detects anomalies at a very early stage. As soon as abnormal battery behavior is detected, the power supply to the charger is automatically cut off to help prevent further degradation and the onset of thermal runaway.

Prevent battery fires through early detection and automatic shutdown

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-2 (100 cm) was developed not only to manage the consequences of a battery incident, but above all to to take action before a battery fire breaks out.

During the initial stage of degradation, a lithium-ion battery may produce small amounts of gas. This so-called off-gassing can occur even before critical temperatures are reached and before thermal runaway sets in.

The system continuously monitors this gas release. With a detection sensitivity starting at 1 ppm per second Abnormal battery behavior can be detected at a very early stage.

As soon as an anomaly is detected, the system automatically cuts off the power supply to the charger. This stops the flow of energy to the battery and allows for early intervention to help prevent further degradation and escalation.

If, despite this preventive measure, a battery were to continue to degrade, the explosion-resistant design and integrated containment features would provide additional layers of safety.

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.

Large storage capacity

With a usable interior space of 800 × 550 × 550 mm, the 100-cm model offers additional capacity for the safe storage and controlled charging of multiple or larger lithium-ion batteries.

Technical specifications

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-2 (100 cm) combines safe storage, controlled charging, early detection, and automatic shutdown into a single integrated security system.

The stored lithium-ion batteries are continuously monitored for early signs of battery degradation during charging. The integrated detection technology analyzes off-gassing with a sensitivity starting at 1 ppm per second.

When abnormal battery behavior is detected, the system automatically cuts off the power supply to the charger. This stops the flow of energy and allows for intervention before the battery problem escalates into thermal runaway.

As an additional layer of security, the cabinet is equipped with features for Pressure-controlled ventilation, multi-stage gas filtration, automatic containment, and integrated fire suppression. The structure is made of non-flammable and explosion-proof materials and was designed for professional maritime applications.

The exterior finish can be customized to match the interior or the technical room in which the cabinet is installed, without compromising the performance of the containment system.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Detect. Shut off. Prevent fires.

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-2 (100 cm) 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 further flow of energy before the battery reaches critical temperatures. The system is designed to intervene as early as possible and to prevent a defective battery from escalating into thermal runaway and ignition.

If, despite this preventive measure, the battery were to continue to degrade, the integrated containment, ventilation, filtration, and fire suppression systems would provide additional protection.

APPLICATIONS

More capacity for Safe Storage and Loading

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-2 (100 cm) is designed for professional environments where multiple or larger lithium-ion batteries must be safely saved and loaded.

With a usable interior space of 800 × 550 × 550 mm This model offers more storage capacity, while its external dimensions of 1000 × 600 × 600 mm remain suitable for integration into various spaces on board.

This makes the SC-V4-2 particularly well-suited for superyachts and other professional maritime environments where large quantities of battery-powered equipment are used.

Part of a broader safety strategy

Part of a broader

safety approach

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-2 (100 cm) is part of a A multi-layered safety approach for the storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries, with prevention as the top priority.
The first layer of safety consists of continuous monitoring and early detection. As soon as abnormal battery behavior is detected, the power supply to the charger is automatically cut off. This stops the further flow of energy and helps the system prevent the battery problem from escalating into thermal runaway and a fire.
If, despite this preventive measure, a battery were to continue to degrade, the explosion-proof design and integrated containment, ventilation, filtration, and fire suppression systems would provide additional layers of safety.
For example, the Schneider Containment SC-V4-2 combines prevention, automatic intervention, and containment within a single system and helps protect the crew, the vessel, and valuable equipment from the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.
