Lithium-ion batteries are known to spontaneously ignite and pose fire hazards due to overheating from poor battery design, damage to the battery through a drop or strike, electrical shorting, overcharging, rapid discharge, or increased storage temperatures. Li-ion batteries contain lithium metal, which is highly combustible.

Several designs of buildings to store or charge lithium batteries are available based on your unique needs, including fire-rated single and double-room buildings to separate storage from charging stations. Li-ion battery storage buildings from U.S. Chemical Storage are custom-engineered to fit your quantity and arrangement needs. Some lithium battery storage buildings are designed with fiberglass floor grating to protect against corrosion. We also provide large-scale lithium-ion battery storage for bigger needs.

Shelving and work surfaces can be included depending on your needs. The buildings can also be designed with temperature control units and sensors to protect lithium-ion batteries from overheating or freezing. Fire-rated and non-fire-rated construction is available, depending on the proximity of the storage to occupied buildings or the time needed to implement your fire plan.
