PowerStor: Battery Charger and Storage in One Secure Unit

Lithium-Ion batteries are a common bit of equipment across most construction sites, workshops, and maintenance depots. Whether managing a busy site or coordinating equipment across multiple teams, having a safe, dedicated space for charging and storage is essential for safety and efficiency. That’s exactly what the Armorgard PowerStor provides.

This all-in-one walk-in unit is built for secure Lithium-Ion battery charging and storage, combining advanced fire safety with a practical, site-ready design. As a complete battery charger and storage solution, PowerStor helps you protect your batteries, secure your tools, and stay compliant on site.

Why On-Site Battery Charging Needs a Smarter Approach

As Lithium-Ion batteries power more tools and equipment across construction and industrial sites, the way they’re charged and stored has to change. A few sockets in the corner of a cabin won’t cut it when multiple teams rely on fully charged batteries to stay productive.

PowerStor offers a more organised, secure option. It’s not just a Li-ion battery charger but a fully integrated walk-in unit built for charging and storage. With dedicated shelving, RCD-protected sockets, and built-in fire safety systems, it reduces risk while keeping everything in one place.

Key Features of the PowerStor

The PowerStor isn’t your average Lithium battery charging station. It’s engineered to meet the demands of tough, fast-paced environments, combining security, fire protection, and practical design features.

1. Secure, Walk-In Design

PowerStor gives you a lockable, walk-in container where tools and batteries stay safe. Its heavy-duty, folded steel build and twin 5-lever deadlocks help prevent theft and restrict unauthorised access.

2. Cutting-Edge F.I.R.E.E. Technology

This world-first system safeguards your Lithium-Ion battery charging units with both proactive and reactive fire protection. From temperature monitoring and forced ventilation to an automatic cut-off at 60°C, it ensures batteries are charged safely.

3. Built-In Fire Suppression

If a fire does occur, the PowerStor’s integrated fire suppression system targets the source immediately. Activated by heat or smoke, it cuts off power to reduce further risk and sounds alarms to alert your team.

4. Easy to Relocate

Need to move it for fire safety or convenience? Forklift pockets and crane lifting eyes make it simple to reposition PowerStor wherever it’s needed most.

5. Plenty of Charging Capacity

With 32 RCD-protected sockets spread over four steel shelves, the PowerStor makes it easy to charge multiple tools at once. All are powered through a single 32a / 230v supply, so managing energy demand is straightforward.

Common Use Cases for PowerStor

PowerStor is trusted across construction, infrastructure, and utility projects where reliable, safe charging is critical. It’s ideal for:

  • Large construction sites with rotating teams that need constant access to charged tools
  • Utility companies managing tools across vehicles or temporary job sites
  • Infrastructure or rail projects operating in remote or confined locations

Wherever batteries are in use, PowerStor ensures they’re charged safely, stored securely, and always ready for work.

Is PowerStor Right for Your Site?

If your site is handling multiple battery-powered tools or you’re concerned about fire risk and compliance, PowerStor is designed to help. Ask yourself:

  • Are batteries currently being charged in unprotected or unsecured areas?
  • Do you need a centralised, tidy location to manage tool charging for multiple teams?
  • Would built-in fire suppression or theft prevention make your site safer?
  • Do you need the flexibility to move your charging setup as your site layout changes?

If the answer to any of these is yes, PowerStor is the right fit.

Why Choose PowerStor for Your Site?

The Armorgard PowerStor is more than just a charging station. It’s a complete battery charger and storage solution, built to improve safety, security, and productivity on your site.

  • Fire Safety First: Automatic suppression, proactive cooling, and smart shut-off features offer peace of mind.
