Battery Commander Pro Locker BS1940 – Lithium Ion Battery Storage & Charging Cabinet Fingerprint Lock

VDMA-Tested Lithium-Ion Protection | Individual Lockable Compartments | Storage & Charging The Phoenix Battery Commander Pro Locker BS1940 Series combines specialist lithium-ion battery storage and charging protection with individual lockable internal compartments, providing greater control over how batteries are separated, stored and accessed. Designed for organisations managing significant quantities of rechargeable batteries, the Locker configuration is particularly useful where batteries need to be allocated to different employees, departments, vehicles or equipment while remaining within a specialist fire-resistant battery cabinet. SafeFort offers the three larger Locker models — BS1943LK, BS1945LK and BS1946LK — each available with a choice of Key, Electronic or Fingerprint main locking. The range is particularly suited to commercial, industrial and professional environments managing batteries for power tools, e-bikes, e-scooters, grounds-maintenance equipment, drones and other rechargeable equipment. Individual Lockable Battery Compartments The defining feature of the Battery Commander Pro Locker is its segmented internal storage system. Rather than providing one completely open storage compartment, the cabinet is divided into individual lockable sections. This allows batteries and charging equipment to be separated according to user, department, equipment type or operational requirement. The Locker system can be particularly useful where businesses need to: Allocate batteries to individual employees or teams Separate batteries belonging to different equipment Control access to specific batteries Keep charged and operational batteries organised Reduce unauthorised removal of batteries Improve accountability for valuable battery equipment Maintain a more structured charging environment For organisations managing a shared pool of expensive rechargeable batteries, this provides an important additional level of access control and organisation. Specialist Lithium-Ion Battery Protection The Battery Commander Pro has been developed specifically around the risks associated with storing and charging lithium-ion batteries. Applicable models within the series are independently tested and ECB-S certified to VDMA 24994:2024-08, a specialist standard addressing lithium-ion battery storage and charging. Unlike a conventional fire-resistant safe designed primarily to protect paper documents, the Battery Commander Pro Locker is designed around the particular risks presented by lithium-ion batteries, including thermal runaway and internal battery fire. This makes the range particularly relevant where battery storage and charging form part of a workplace fire-risk assessment. Protection Against Thermal Runaway Lithium-ion batteries can enter thermal runaway following damage, overheating, manufacturing defects or other failures. Once initiated, a battery fire can develop rapidly and may be extremely difficult to extinguish. The Battery Commander Pro Locker is designed to help contain the consequences of an internal battery incident, reducing the potential for fire to spread rapidly into the surrounding workplace. Maximum battery-energy limits apply according to the individual cabinet model and should always be observed. Integrated Battery Charging The Locker configuration allows compatible lithium-ion batteries to be charged while securely stored within the cabinet. Integrated power distribution provides convenient connection for battery chargers while keeping charging equipment within the protected enclosure. This is particularly useful for businesses where batteries are routinely returned for charging at the end of a shift before being collected again by authorised personnel. The combined electrical demand of all connected chargers should always be assessed to ensure the available electrical supply is suitable. Intelligent Safety Monitoring The Battery Commander Pro Locker incorporates an electronic safety monitoring system designed to provide an active response to abnormal conditions rather than relying solely upon the physical construction of the cabinet. This adds another layer of protection when batteries are being charged within the unit. Temperature Monitoring & Power Isolation Internal temperature monitoring helps identify abnormal heat build-up within the cabinet. If excessive temperature is detected, the control system can respond by: Disconnecting charging power Activating an audible warning Providing an external visual warning Automatically removing power from the chargers can provide an important additional safeguard if a battery or charger begins to overheat. Door Monitoring Door monitoring helps ensure that the cabinet is correctly closed during charging. Where an open-door condition is detected, the system can interrupt charging and provide a warning, helping prevent batteries from continuing to charge while the protective enclosure is left open.
