If it explodes, the resulting shower of molten metal can cause serious burns and ignite any explosive gases present around the battery. The sparks can give out enough ultra violet (UV) light to damage the eyes. Most batteries produce quite low voltages, and so there is little risk of electric shock.
Internally, they are provided with a non-static PVC lining. And last, but certainly not least, to cover just about every conceivable environmental eventuality, our explosion proof battery enclosures are good for temperatures ranging from minus 40 to plus 55 degrees Celsius.
The gases that come out of a vented lead/acid battery during charging often contain a fine mist of sulphuric acid. Take care to avoid breathing these fumes, and wear suitable eye protection. Valve regulated (‘maintenance free’) batteries are much less likely to release hydrogen than vented batteries.
Available in 316L stainless steel and galvanised or painted steel, the battery box is suitable for all environmental locations. PMAP's batter boxes are the most flexible and user-friendly units on the market due to each box being built to customers' bespoke sizing and specifications.
On the outside we make them durable enough to withstand the severe environmental conditions they will have to face on your offshore platforms, while on the inside they provide the ideal environment for storing the batteries that underpin your vital back-up or main systems.

If this happens in a confined space (eg inside the battery, or in an enclosure or a poorly ventilated battery room), a violent explosion is likely. The gases that come out of a vented lead/acid battery during charging often contain a fine mist of sulphuric acid.
Fire-proof and Explosion-proof Battery Safety Charging Cabinet
The fireproof and explosion-proof battery charging cabinet is suitable for the storage and charging of various types of power batteries and lithium batteries. Widely used in factories, laboratories, warehouses and other forklift charging storage management places.
Explosion-proof box for lead-acid battery storage
Typically, the battery backup facility would utilise lead acid batteries which are continuously charged in a storeroom. They are a good solution to keep critical systems running without the need for costly generators. However, a major issue with lead acid batteries is they produce hydrogen gas which is explosive at 4% by volume in air.
Explosion safety when using lead-acid batteries
Standards EN 62485-3:2014, applicable to traction batteries, and EN 62485-2:2018, applicable to stationary batteries, suggest keeping a so-called ''safe distance'' – a space around the battery free from any effective ignition sources, …

Using electric storage batteries safely
There are two different types of lead/acid and alkaline rechargeable batteries: valve regulated (''maintenancefree'') and vented. In valveregulated batteries, any hydrogen and oxygen produced during charging does not escape but is converted back into water. You cannot add water to these batteries, as they do not need
