Schneider SC-V4-3 Lithium-Ion Fire Prevention Cabinet

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

The Schneider SC-V4-3 (75 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-V4-3 (75 cm) was developed based on one key principle: to prevent battery fires as much as possible prevent it before it happens.

A lithium-ion battery may produce small amounts of gas during the initial stage of degradation. This so-called off-gassing can occur 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 behavior can be identified at an early stage.

As soon as an anomaly is detected, the system automatically cuts off the power supply to the charger. This stops the further flow of energy and takes action before the situation can escalate.

If, despite this preventive measure, a battery were to continue to degrade, the explosion-proof design and integrated containment features would provide an additional layer 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.

More storage capacity

With a usable interior space of 550 × 550 × 550 mm, the 75-cm model offers additional capacity for the safe storage and controlled charging of lithium-ion batteries, while remaining compact enough for onboard installation.

Technical specifications

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-3 (75 cm) combines safe storage, controlled charging, early detection, and automatic shutdown into a single integrated security system.

During charging, the stored lithium-ion batteries are continuously monitored for early signs of battery degradation. 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 further energy from flowing to the battery and allows for intervention before the situation escalates into thermal runaway.

As an additional layer of security, the cabinet is equipped with features for containment, pressure-controlled ventilation, multi-stage gas filtration, and integrated fire suppression. The structure is made of non-flammable and explosion-resistant materials and was designed for reliable use in maritime environments.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Detect. Shut off. Prevent fires.

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-3 (75 cm) continuously monitors for the first signs of battery degradation. As soon as the system detects abnormal battery behavior, it automatically cut off the power supply to the charger.

This stops the flow of additional power before the battery reaches critical temperatures. The system is designed to intervene as early as possible and to prevent a battery from escalating further into thermal runaway and ignition.

If, despite this preventive measure, a battery were to continue to degrade, the integrated containment, ventilation, filtration, and fire suppression systems provide an additional layer of safety.

APPLICATIONS

Safe Loading and Storage in professional settings

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-3 (75 cm) is designed for professional environments where lithium-ion batteries are regularly saved and loaded and where a battery incident could have serious consequences.

With a usable interior space of 550 × 550 × 550 mm This model offers more storage capacity than the smaller version, while its compact footprint remains suitable for onboard installation.

As a result, the SC-V4-3 is particularly well-suited for superyachts and other maritime applications where safety, available space, and operational reliability are essential.

Part of a broader safety strategy

Part of a broader

safety approach

The Schneider Containment SC-V4-3 (75 cm) is primarily designed for prevent a malfunction in a lithium-ion battery from developing into a fire.
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 ensures intervention as early as possible in the process.
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.
This creates a a multi-layered safety concept that prioritizes prevention. In this way, the Schneider Containment SC-V4-3 helps protect the crew, the ship, and valuable equipment from the risks associated with storing and loading lithium-ion batteries.
