Safely charging batteries simultaneously on 230V
Do you work with smaller batteries, such as those for two-way radios, hand scanners or power tools, and don’t have access to three-phase power on site? Then this battery safe is exactly what you need.
With the Batteryguard HE XL-20, you can charge up to 20 batteries at the same time using a standard 230V connection. There is no need to make any changes to your electrical installation. This allows you to organise charging centrally and safely, without technical modifications.
Who is this battery safe suitable for?
The HE XL-20 is our largest battery safe with the highest number of charging points. It is designed for organisations that need to charge large numbers of smaller lithium-ion batteries at the same time, such as batteries for two-way radios and scanners, while only having a 230V connection available.
The available power is automatically distributed across all connected batteries. If more power is requested than the connection can handle, the battery safe temporarily switches itself off. After a short reset, you can safely continue charging.
You will recognise these situations:
- You work daily with multiple batteries for two-way radios, scanners or power tools.
- You want to store and charge all chargers and batteries in one fixed location.
- You only have 230V available, but still want to charge many batteries simultaneously.
Dutch transport company Arriva uses this safe to securely charge conductors’ and drivers’ two-way radios at locations without three-phase power.
Flexible layout with adjustable shelves
You can configure the battery safe exactly the way you need it. The shelves can easily be repositioned, allowing you to make the best use of the available space while maintaining a clear overview. Only the HE XL models allow you to adjust the shelf height yourself.
This is useful if you:
- Work with different types of chargers
- Want to charge multiple batteries on each level
- Use power strips or charging docks
Protection in the event of a battery fire
A lithium-ion battery can catch fire during charging, for example if it has previously been dropped or damaged. The Batteryguard battery safe is designed to contain such a battery fire inside the safe. Fire and heat cannot spread to the surrounding area or to other parts of the building.
Batteryguard battery safes have been tested according to the VDMA 24994 requirements. Based on these tests, they have obtained the ECB-S certificate. This proves that the safe is suitable for safely containing a battery fire.
Key safety features:
Documentation for insurance and safety
Insurers increasingly ask for documented proof that batteries are being charged and stored safely. With Batteryguard’s official documentation, you can demonstrate that you have chosen a tested and certified solution that complies with current regulations.
These documents are also suitable for discussions with your prevention officer or fire service and can be used for your risk assessment or internal safety procedures.
