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.
