The Conduct Batteryshelter is a secure and tidy solution for mounting home batteries outdoors against a brick façade. The system offers protection against weather conditions, explosions, and fire. By placing the installation outside, you are protected from the consequences of smoke development. The metal enclosure also prevents theft and/or vandalism. By keeping the DC infrastructure outside, fire safety is improved and the risk of contact hazards is reduced. This contributes to better acceptance by insurers and the fire brigade.

SAFETY TO STORAGE
Using an energy storage system (ESS) in combination with solar panels is becoming increasingly economically attractive. An ESS is used to store energy generated during the day for use in the evening, which offers significant benefits.
It is important that the ESS is installed safely, in the correct location, and separated from living areas. Although a garage may seem like a suitable location at first glance, this space presents certain risks. Garages often contain varying fire loads (such as vehicles and fuels) and are frequently directly connected to living spaces without a fire-rated door. As a result, the risks to residents increase significantly in the event of an incident.

How does the Batteryshelter work and what are its benefits?
The solution for placing an ESS system outdoors
You hope it never happens. But it does. A home battery that catches fire or even explodes. Toxic smoke, panic, children you have to pull away. Insurance companies warn for good reason: place your battery outside your home. So how do you ensure it’s safely located outdoors and accepted by insurers? The Batteryshelter by Conduct is a safe and tidy solution for mounting home batteries outdoors on an exterior wall. It is robust, weather-resistant, and can be finished in the same colour as the façade with a powder coating, so it blends in with the house and remains unobtrusive.
Key benefits at a glance
- 30% less heat radiation: The Batteryshelter reduces heat radiation to the immediate surroundings by 30%, as demonstrated during the fire test.
- 8 minutes of fire-retardant protection: The Batteryshelter slows down heat transfer during a battery fire, providing additional time to limit the consequences of an incident.
- Reduced upward heat transfer: The roof of the Batteryshelter limits upward heat transfer, providing additional protection for the surrounding area.
- Fire-safe with natural convection: A1-classified Magnelis® steel frame and passive chimney effect, with air intake at the bottom and exhaust through perforated slots.
- Limits propagation during thermal runaway: In the event of thermal runaway, the Batteryshelter helps prevent burning components and cells from coming into direct contact with combustible materials in the surrounding area.
- Battery safely located outside the living area: Outdoor installation provides natural ventilation and keeps a potential battery incident separated from the living area.
- Keeps DC infrastructure outdoors: Fewer cable penetrations and simpler CE/EMC coordination (where applicable).
- Safe earthing: Integrated DEHN K12 equipotential bonding rail with UV-resistant, halogen-free black cover. Complies with EN IEC 60364-4-41, EN IEC 60364-5-54 and EN IEC 62305-3.
- Weather-resistant: Made from Magnelis® steel, corrosion-resistant and suitable for long-term outdoor use. Provides IP12 protection (EN 60529).
- Protected against theft and accidental contact: Lockable cover with multi-point locking system, impact-resistant up to IK10 in accordance with EN 62262, and fitted with two additional anti-theft locking bolts.
- Universal design: Suitable for the most commonly used home batteries on the market.
- Quick installation: Thanks to the supplied mounting template, slotted holes and clear multilingual installation manual. This saves installation time and reduces the risk of installation errors.
- Secure wall mounting: Easy installation using ETA-approved wall anchors. Installation at least 30 cm above ground level protects the home battery against water and ground settlement.
