Lithium Cabinet 23-LC Justrite lithium-ion cabinet

Advanced 9-Layer ChargeGuard™ Protection for Safe Lithium Battery Charging and Storage

Protect your facility, equipment, and personnel with the Justrite 23-LC Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Safety Cabinet—a purpose-built solution engineered to address the growing fire risks associated with lithium battery charging and storage. Featuring Justrite's proprietary 9-layer ChargeGuard™ system, this cabinet significantly reduces the risk of fire, smoke, and explosions caused by lithium battery thermal runaway events.

As lithium-ion battery use accelerates across industries, so does the need for certified, science-backed containment. The 23-LC delivers exactly that—combining intelligent engineering, premium materials, and multi-layered defence to keep your workplace safe.

Why Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Demands Specialised Containment

Lithium-ion batteries can fail catastrophically during charging. Thermal runaway events release intense heat, toxic gases, and explosive force—threatening lives, damaging property, and triggering devastating facility fires. Standard storage cabinets simply aren't designed to contain these hazards.

The Justrite 23-LC is built from the ground up to contain, dampen, filter, and seal—mitigating every dimension of a lithium battery failure.

The 9-Layer ChargeGuard™ Defence System

The 23-LC's proprietary ChargeGuard™ technology delivers comprehensive multi-stage protection through engineered safety features that work in concert during a battery failure event.

Welded Double-Wall Steel Construction

The cabinet's welded double-wall steel body provides a solid, structurally reinforced enclosure designed to contain potential explosions. An integrated air gap between walls helps maintain a safe-to-touch outer shell temperature even during internal thermal events.

Pressure Relief Vent System

Vented door panels are engineered to dampen the explosive force generated by thermal runaway and battery failure—directing energy safely while maintaining structural integrity.

Heat-Activated Expanding Door Seals

Intumescent door seals swell automatically as temperatures rise, sealing the door frame to prevent smoke, fumes, and flames from escaping during a fire event.

Spring-Loaded Automatic Dampers

Damper flaps close automatically when internal cabinet temperatures reach 135°F (57°C), reducing the release of harmful smoke and gases by as much as 99%—protecting workers and limiting facility contamination.

Door Hinge Flame Guards

Tight-sealing door hinges fitted with dedicated flame guards prevent fires from escaping through hinge gaps, eliminating secondary fire ignition points outside the cabinet.

Reinforced Steel Door Latch Plates

Heavy-duty steel latch rods paired with reinforced latch cradle plates ensure cabinet doors remain securely closed during pressure events, maintaining containment when it matters most.

Toxin Filtration System

An integrated filtration system absorbs and filters toxic compounds emitted from lithium-ion battery fires, reducing environmental contamination and protecting personnel.

Colour-Changing Temperature Indicator Tabs

Visual indicator tabs change colour to signal when the cabinet exterior has been exposed to elevated temperatures—providing at-a-glance status verification for safety teams.
