Description

Mitigate the Real Risk of Workplace Battery Fires

With UK lithium-ion battery fires rising by 93% between 2022 and 2024, workplace safety has never been more critical. In fact, 54% of UK businesses have already experienced a lithium-ion battery incident, with average insurance claims reaching £50,000. Relying on spare sockets, trailing extension leads, or unprotected workbenches introduces an immediate operational hazard that the HSE frequently highlights as a serious, overlooked risk. The Armorgard QPod QP1 directly resolves this vulnerability, providing an expertly engineered, self-contained environment to safely charge and store power tool and equipment batteries indoors.

High-Specification Thermal and Electrical Protection

Built to withstand rigorous technical demands, the QP1 is constructed from heavy-duty 1.5mm powder-coated steel to offer a certified, robust fire containment system. It accommodates batteries with a total capacity up to 1.5kWh (1500Wh) and features an integrated ventilation system to manage heat dissipation effectively during intensive charging cycles. Electrical safety is prioritised via an internal 8-way 13A power strip connected to an RCD-protected inlet plug, while physical security is maintained by a robust dual-key locking mechanism. Crucially, an early-warning internal alarm system ensures that any thermal anomalies are flagged immediately, minimising potential downtime and preventing catastrophic thermal runaway events.

Why Partner with HSE Store?

At HSE Store, we truly understand your business needs and compliance challenges. Supported by numerous 5-star reviews from industry professionals, we offer free UK mainland delivery on the Armorgard QPod QP1 to help you secure your workplace quickly, efficiently, and without hidden costs.

Key Technical Features

  • Rigorous Fire Containment: Heavy-duty 1.5mm powder-coated steel chassis tested against real thermal runaway events to isolate and suppress fire risks.

  • Safe High-Capacity Power Hub: Equipped with 8x 13A RCD-protected power sockets specifically engineered to safely charge lithium-ion batteries up to 1.5kWh.

  • Early Warning Detection: Integrated audible alarm system for rapid risk notification alongside built-in ventilation for optimal thermal management.

  • Space-Optimised Indoor Profile: Designed with a compact 688 x 541 x 709 mm external footprint, allowing for immediate plug-and-play installation inside workshops, offices, or vans.

  • Secure & Adaptable Design: Fully lockable unit supplied with 2 keys, 1 removable internal shelf, and pre-drilled holes to seamlessly accommodate optional castor or stacking kits.

Question
Technical Answer
1. What is the Armorgard QPod QP1 and what is its primary purpose? The Armorgard QPod QP1 is a specialised, compact indoor lithium-ion battery charging station. Its primary purpose is to mitigate thermal runaway fire risks by providing a fire-resistant, segregated, and ventilated steel cabinet that safely isolates, charges, and stores individual batteries.
2. Was the QPod developed or tested with any UK fire safety authorities? Yes, the QPod fire containment system was rigorously tested against real thermal runaway events. The unit was developed in collaboration with the London Fire Brigade and the Royal Navy, integrating front-line operational expertise to deliver a highly secure charging solution for high-risk environments.
3. How does the QPod differ from other models in the Armorgard battery charging range? The manufacturer’s battery charging range is optimised for distinct operational environments:

• VoltHub: Best for proactive, high-volume lithium-ion charging across both indoor and outdoor industrial sites.

• PowerStor: A secure, walk-in charging container engineered specifically for heavy-duty tool storage on construction sites.

• PowerStation: A multi-device vertical locker station meant for busy worksites requiring unattended tool charging.

• QPod: Purpose-built specifically for offices, smaller indoor workspaces, and facility management environments, prioritising portability, space efficiency, and reliable fire containment.
4. What workspace environments is the QPod ideal for? The QPod is specifically engineered for indoor environments where space optimisation is essential. It is ideal for offices, meeting rooms, facility management departments, workshop benches, and shared corporate workspaces where power tools or compact equipment batteries need to be charged safely.
5. How many power sockets are provided, and what electrical protection is included? The station features an internal power strip equipped with 8x 13A charging sockets. Full electrical safety is maintained via an integrated Residual Current Device (RCD) protected inlet plug to actively isolate faults and prevent electrical fires.
6. What is the maximum battery capacity the QPod QP1 can safely handle? The charging station is strictly rated to safely contain, manage, and charge lithium-ion batteries with a total aggregate capacity of up to 1.5kWh (1500Wh).
7. What integrated features suppress or warn against potential fire risks? The unit relies on a rigorously tested fire containment system. For proactive hazard management, it includes an integrated early-warning audible alarm system, built-in thermal ventilation for heat management, and official safety signage reminding users to keep doors closed.
8. Can the QPod QP1 be moved easily around a dynamic workspace? Yes, the unit is designed with a compact footprint for easy indoor installation and relocation. It weighs 74kg, making it a highly manageable and flexible solution for dynamic workspaces.
9. What are the dimensions and unladen weight of the QP1 unit? The external dimensions of the unit (including all standard protrusions) are 709 x 688 x 541 mm, with clean internal dimensions of 520 x 510 x 395 mm. The unladen weight of the entire station is 74kg.
10. Can multiple units be stacked, or can wheels be fitted? Yes. The station is engineered with pre-drilled holes at the base to accommodate official accessories. Operators can purchase a Castor Kit (CASS6) for mobile deployment or utilise a Stacking Kit (QP1-P01-STK) to securely stack units vertically to save floor space.
11. What material is the QPod made from and how secure is it? The charging station is manufactured from durable 1.5mm steel with a heavy-duty powder-coated finish in Charcoal Grey (RAL 7021) and Traffic Red (RAL 3020). Physical security and risk management are maintained by a robust locking handle supplied with 2 keys as standard.
12. Does using the QPod ensure full UK health and safety compliance? Yes. UK health and safety guidelines emphasise that charging lithium-ion batteries on unprotected workbenches or via standard trailing extension leads poses a serious, overlooked hazard. The QPod solves this by combining fire-resistant containment, RCD electrical fault protection, and proper ventilation into a single certified plug-and-play cabinet that satisfies strict workplace safety audits.
