How Much Does It Cost to Build an Explosion-Proof Cold Storage for Battery Electrolyte?

In the battery manufacturing industry, safe storage of battery electrolyte is critical. Since electrolyte is highly flammable and explosive, specialized explosion-proof cold storage facilities are required to ensure safety. But how much does it actually cost to build one?

Typical Cost per Square Meter

On average, building an explosion-proof cold storage costs RMB 1,500–2,600 per square meter (approx. USD 210–370/m²).

Cost Estimates by Size

The total cost depends largely on the size of the facility:

• Small-scale (10 m²): approx. RMB 80,000–120,000 (USD 11,000–17,000)
• Medium (50 m²): RMB 100,000–200,000 (USD 14,000–28,000)
• 100 m²: RMB 150,000–300,000 (USD 21,000–42,000)
• 500 m²: RMB 700,000–900,000 (USD 98,000–126,000)
• 1,000 m²: RMB 1.5–2 million (USD 210,000–280,000)

As the storage area increases, the total investment rises, but the unit cost per square meter decreases. Instead of relying only on estimates, you can also look at real-world examples.
