The storage of automotive lithium batteries and electrolyte materials requires a highly controlled and certified safety environment. Due to their flammability, volatility, and sensitivity to temperature and static electricity, conventional cold rooms cannot meet safety requirements.
An IIBT4 explosion-proof cold storage is specifically designed for hazardous materials such as lithium batteries, electrolytes, alcohol-based chemicals, and new energy components. It integrates fire resistance, explosion protection, anti-static control, pressure relief, and spill prevention, ensuring long-term safe and stable storage.

An IIBT4 explosion-proof cold storage uses B1-grade flame-retardant insulation panels and is fully equipped with certified explosion-proof components, including explosion-proof air coolers, electrical control cabinets, conduits, LED lighting, and refrigeration compressor units, all compliant with IIBT4 explosion-proof standards.
The floor is treated with anti-static and spark-resistant materials, while the structure incorporates explosion venting, pressure regulation, and leakage containment systems. These facilities are typically constructed in isolated industrial zones, away from densely populated areas, to maximize safety compliance.
How Much Does It Cost and How Much Can It Store?
From an investor’s perspective, the key question is not only cost, but storage capacity and safety value per dollar spent.
Based on current market projects, the approximate investment ranges are as follows:
100 m² explosion-proof cold storage
- Investment: USD 43,000 – 58,000
- Storage capacity: approx. 25–30 tons of lithium battery products
- Suitable for pilot production, R&D storage, or electrolyte backup inventory
500 m² explosion-proof cold storage
- Investment: USD 115,000 – 145,000
- Storage capacity: approx. 100–130 tons
- Suitable for medium-scale battery assembly plants or regional distribution centers
1,000 m² explosion-proof cold storage
- Investment: USD 250,000 – 350,000
- Storage capacity: approx. 190–240 tons
- Designed for large-scale battery manufacturing, centralized warehousing, or export logistics hubs
Storage capacity is calculated based on standard palletized lithium battery packaging with controlled aisle spacing for fire safety and inspection access.

Why IIBT4 Explosion-Proof Cold Storage Is a Necessary Investment
For lithium battery manufacturers and new energy companies, this type of cold storage is not optional—it is a risk control infrastructure.
It helps companies:
- Comply with international safety and hazardous material regulations
- Reduce fire, explosion, and insurance risks
- Extend storage life and maintain battery performance
- Support large-scale production, export, and long-distance logistics
- Protect personnel, facilities, and brand reputation
