optional\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the single thing to sort out before you order. asecos' user manual for the ION-LINE CORE states that \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated technical ventilation is required\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the cabinet carries a 75 DN extraction air connection so it can be ducted. The design figure is 5 Pa differential pressure at ten air changes an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice that means a duct run to outside and a fan, which is an electrical and ductwork job rather than something that comes in the box. If your building already extracts a COSHH store or a battery room, you may be able to tie into it. If not, price the ventilation alongside the cabinet rather than after it. Ring us on 020 3004 1152 and we will tell you what other customers have ended up spending on the install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat can you actually put in it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLithium-ion batteries and nothing else. asecos' manual is blunt about this: the cabinets are designed exclusively to store and charge lithium-ion batteries, and \u003cstrong\u003estoring them alongside other hazardous substances is not permitted.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you want flammable liquids in the same room, that is a separate COSHH cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo numbers govern how you load it. No single battery heavier than \u003cstrong\u003e15 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, and no more than \u003cstrong\u003e25 kg per shelf\u003c\/strong\u003e evenly spread, so 100 kg across the four levels. That is generous for power tool packs and reasonable for e-bike batteries, and it is the figure to check if you are storing larger industrial packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCharging or storage only?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharging. asecos' user manual states these cabinets are designed to store and charge lithium-ion batteries, and defines active storage as batteries being charged, or held at a partial 60 to 70 per cent charge, in the cabinet using a charger. The sixteen sockets are there to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is worth saying clearly because the shorter under-bench model in this range is described by asecos as passive storage, which causes confusion across the whole ION-LINE. If you are choosing between them, this is the one to buy for charging duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it compare with the under-bench model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/asecos-ion-core-90-lithium-battery-cabinet\"\u003eunder-bench ION-CORE-90\u003c\/a\u003e is 780mm high with two drawers, eight sockets and no ventilation connection, and it slides under a worktop. This one is 1,953mm, has four insulated shelves, sixteen sockets, a collecting sump and a ducted extraction connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake the under-bench cabinet if you have a handful of packs and no appetite for ductwork. Take this one if you are charging a fleet, want propagation tested shelves between levels, and can run an extract.
