Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Qpod, like all of Armorgard’s battery charging range, has undergone rigorous real-world testing. Our expert R&D team repeatedly tests Qpod with varying batteries, fire speeds and temperatures. Qpod has been shown to contain fires over the recommended 1.5kWh, with developments being made in real time.

The Qpod has been built to UL standards, and has a unique sealed unit system that completely contains fire and explosion. The double-walled ventilation system works to both expel gases and contain flames that can often reignite the toxic gases in the atmosphere. Unlike standard battery charging cabinets which are often only class A fire rated, it is specifically designed to reduce the risks associated with lithium-ion battery charging while remaining portable and easy to deploy.

Absolutely. Its lightweight and portable design allow it to be moved between desks, offices, or storage areas with ease, making it a flexible solution for dynamic workspaces.

VoltHub – Best for proactive, high-volume lithium-ion battery charging with fire risk minimisation, suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial sites.
PowerStor – Ideal for on-site charging of tool batteries, offering security and portability for construction and service environments.
PowerStation – Designed for busy worksites to charge multiple tools and devices safely without supervision.
– Qpod – Tailored for office and small workspace use, focusing on portability and space efficiency while keeping lithium-ion batteries safely charged.

The Qpod is designed for safely storing and charging lithium-ion batteries in office and indoor environments. Its compact and portable design makes it ideal for small spaces, meeting rooms, and shared workspaces.

avoid costly lithium-ion incidents with Qpod

Ignoring indoor lithium-ion battery fire risks can have severe operational and financial consequences. A single battery fire can trigger extensive insurance claims, cause unexpected operational downtime, and prompt HSE investigations. In addition, stock and equipment may be damaged, and significant time and resources are often required to resume normal operations.Non-compliant charging setups may also limit insurance coverage, leaving your business exposed to risk.

The Qpod mitigates these potential costs by providing a portable, certified solution that isolates each battery and proactively manages fire hazards, ensuring that your workspace stays safe and fully operational.

Ensuring Full UK Safety Compliance

UK regulations for indoor lithium-ion battery charging are strict, reflecting the growing awareness of fire hazards in workplaces. Facility managers and health and safety officers are required to ensure that charging setups include fire-resistant containment, adequate ventilation, and safe positioning relative to escape routes. Electrical safety is paramount, with Residual Current Device (RCD) protection essential to prevent electrical faults that could trigger fires or electrocution.

The Qpod is fully lithium-ion rated and certified to meet these rigorous UK safety standards, giving peace of mind that your indoor charging operations are compliant and secure. By integrating plug-and-play simplicity with built-in protection systems, Qpod takes the complexity out of regulatory compliance.
