The BS0440 Series: Compact Battery Storage for Homes, Workshops and Small Businesses
The Phoenix BS0440 Battery Fighter Series is a purpose-built lithium battery storage and charging safe designed for residential and light commercial use. If you’re storing and charging power tool batteries, e-bike batteries, or other lithium-ion packs at home or in a small workshop, this is the entry-level certified solution built specifically for the task.
Unlike repurposed cabinets or generic storage options, the BS0440 is engineered from the ground up for lithium battery containment. Its robust double-wall steel construction is fire, impact, and security certified, and the integrated smoke detector and alarm provide an early warning if something goes wrong during charging.
Why a dedicated battery safe matters
Lithium-ion batteries carry a genuine risk of thermal runaway — a chain reaction that can be triggered by heat, physical damage, or a manufacturing fault. When it happens, the resulting fire burns intensely and is extremely difficult to extinguish with standard methods. A battery safe doesn’t prevent a fault from occurring, but it contains the event and significantly reduces the risk to people and property.
For Australian homes, workshops, and small businesses charging multiple lithium batteries regularly, the BS0440 provides a practical, certified solution that demonstrates genuine duty of care.

Frequently Asked Questions — BS0440 Series
Is the BS0440 suitable for e-bike batteries? Yes. The BS0440 is designed for lithium-ion batteries of various types, including e-bike and e-scooter batteries. The built-in power outlets allow safe in-cabinet charging. Check the internal dimensions and capacity of the size you’re considering to ensure your specific battery pack fits.
Does the BS0440 meet Australian safety standards? Australia does not yet have a single national standard specifically for lithium battery storage cabinets. The BS0440 is fire, impact, and security certified to European testing benchmarks. While the BS1940 series holds VDMA 24994:2024-08 certification (the most current international standard), the BS0440 remains a certified, purpose-built solution appropriate for residential and light commercial use.
Can I charge batteries inside the safe? Yes. The BS0440 includes built-in power outlets specifically to allow charging to occur safely inside the cabinet, which is the recommended approach. Charging inside a dedicated battery safe is safer than charging in open areas.
What sizes are available? The BS0440 series comes in three sizes — BS0441, BS0442, and BS0443 — with increasing internal capacity. Contact us with details of the batteries you need to store and we’ll confirm which size suits your needs.
