iAqua Lithium Safety Store
The ultimate carving machine. Redefined.
Keep your boat and passengers safe with the Lithium Safety Store™ (multiple patents pending)
Lithium Safety Store™ Features:
Contains uncontrolled fires
Contains an uncontrolled fire developing due to the thermal runaway associated with lithium battery faults.
Heavy-duty construction
Features a 1-inch/2.5cm thick wall fortified with Kevlar®, ensuring blast protection, and against fires over 2000°F/1100°C. The UL-94 V-O insulated core ensures the heat stays contained, while the sleek, high-gloss fiberglass or carbon-fibre finish adds both strength and elegance to your yacht.
Kevlar® armoured inner
Kevlar® is lightweight yet is still five times stronger than steel so is ideal to contain lithium, gas and flammable liquid explosions. Due to its strength, lightness, heat protection properties, and low thermal conductivity it is the number one material used for bullet proof vests, and all fire protection equipment, such as fire-fighters suits and gloves.
1-inch/2.5cm inner core of UL-94 V-O fire/heat block
UL-94 V-O is the highest rated level of flame resistance and means the material will self-extinguish in less than 10 seconds once the flame is extinguished, with no dripping of flaming particles.
Can be moved or discarded overboard safely during a fire
Space saving & stackable
These units are designed for secure stacking. Each one features four marine-grade non-slip rubber feet, which interlock with recesses on the lid of the unit below. For easy lifting, there are four large side handles, which also serve as sturdy tie-down points for added stability and security.
Safe charging and battery protection
Over 50% of lithium fires ignite during charging. Many overlook the risks, leaving equipment such as banks of walkie talkies, or yacht water toys to charge in vulnerable spots. Lithium fires can engulf large areas in just a few moments, with nearby materials such as furniture, wall coverings, teak decks or the resin in your boats GRP fuelling the flames.
Lithium fires spread and get out of control in just seconds and most crews are unaware and unprepared for such an event.The Lithium Safety Store™ is designed to allow your lithium powered tools and water toys to be charged safely and remain on trickle charge preventing the batteries from draining. This prevents permanent failure of expensive batteries due to natural discharge/draining, thus protecting your investment, prolonging device life, and maintaining peak performance.
Safe filtration & controlled ventilation
Controlled filtration using Hybrid Active Carbon Gas Adsorption (HCGA) and High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) systems effectively neutralizes toxic fumes. Controlled ventilation prevents gas entrapment, and also allows the contents to air preventing humidity build-up.
Heavy-duty 316 grade stainless steel
Crafted with marine grade 316 stainless steel for all key components, the safety store is tailored to endure the harsh demands of the marine environment.
Beautifully finished to compliment your yacht
Finished in weather-proof high-gloss fibreglass/gelcoat, or carbon-fibre, it offers boat owners a stylish solution to compliment their yacht. The standard gel-coat finish is high-gloss marine white, or carbon-fibre mesh. Additional finishes available are light grey, navy blue or beige. Custom-paint finishes and special designs to match any yacht styling can also be supplied.
Portable and safe for lithium transport
With large side handles and roller wheels, they are easy to manouver and can also be used to transport lithium ion products safely.
Digital infrared thermometer gun
Every Lithium Safety Store™ comes with a handheld digital infrared temperature gun operating from 58℉ to 932℉ (-50℃ to 500℃), with backlight for day/night usage. Monitor the heat of the Lithium Safety Store from a distance, so you will be able to follow the progression of the fire and see when it is safe to open the lid or discard the unit.
Water inlet fire extinguishing port
Reduce insurance premiums and prevent claim denial
The captain’s number one concern is always for the safety of the passengers, crew and vessel, but usage of the Lithium Safety Store™ can also reduce your insurance premiums, and prevent claim denial for improperly stored flammable liquids, or lithium fire incidents.
Available in different sizes
With three different sizes there is a Lithium Safety Store™ for every application. The larger size to fit all iAQUA and Seabob sea scooters, plus electric/dock scooters. A medium size for larger e-foil and e-surfboard removable batteries, e-bike batteries, fuel cans, and gas bottles. Plus, a smaller size for storage of flares, gas canisters, flammable liquids, plus storage and safe charging of smaller lithium batteries found in walkie-talkies, torches, drones, smaller toys and power tools.
Highest standards of fire-safety certification Worldwide
We have designed the Lithium Safety Store™ to exceed the highest standards of fire safety and containment that exist. It is certified to:
- American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM 4919(2017). Test standards to cover the storage and carriage of dangerous goods such as lithium batteries by air or sea.
- International Organisation for Standardisation ISO 16104(2007). Test standards to cover the transport, storage and packaging of dangerous goods including lithium batteries.
- Underwriters Laboratories UL-94(2016). V-0, the highest rating from the Standard for Tests for Flammability.
- British Standards Institute BSI EN14470 – European Standard governing the internal storage of highly flammable substances.
- Fully compliant with MCA MGN 681 (M), Fire safety and storage of small electric powered craft on yachts, Section 4 – Storage and Charging.*
*The MCA MGN 681 (M) guidelines are a general guidance and not a certification or a test, so be sure to choose only lithium storage solutions that are tested to recognised certifications such as ASTM D4919(2017) and ISO 16104(2007)
