Battery cabinet, also known as power battery cabinet or energy storage cabinet, is an important equipment for storing and managing energy in various fields. It is widely used in telecommunications, electric power, transportation, and other industries.
It is equipped with multiple protection functions such as overcharge and over-discharge protection, over-current protection, short circuit protection, and over-temperature protection. In addition, the battery cabinet has a stable temperature control system to ensure that the battery operates under safe and stable conditions.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are pivotal technologies for sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
Battery cabinets must enclose the batteries behind locked doors accessible only to authorized personnel. As long as the cabinets are kept locked, they can be located in a computer room or other rooms accessible by non-battery technicians.
One cabinet should be able to hold at least one complete string of cells. Best practice is that strings should not be split between two cabinets in order to ensure reliability of the entire string.

Battery cabinets are frequently criticized for their lack of top clearance. For example, in a cabinet containing multiple strings of low ampere-hour batteries, there might be several shelves, each with one string of cells. The cell units on each shelf might be arranged two, three, or more cells deep.
