Frequently Asked Questions

Has the Qpod undergone testing for Class L fires?

Yes, the Qpod, like all of Armorgard’s battery charging range, has undergone rigorous real-world testing. Our expert R&D team repeatedly tests Qpod with varying batteries, fire speeds and temperatures. Qpod has been shown to contain fires over the recommended 1.5kWh, with developments being made in real time.

How does Qpod differ from other market offerings

The Qpod has been built to UL standards, and has a unique sealed unit system that completely contains fire and explosion. The double-walled ventilation system works to both expel gases and contain flames that can often reignite the toxic gases in the atmosphere. Unlike standard battery charging cabinets which are often only class A fire rated, it is specifically designed to reduce the risks associated with lithium-ion battery charging while remaining portable and easy to deploy.

Can the Qpod be moved easily?

Absolutely. Its lightweight and portable design allow it to be moved between desks, offices, or storage areas with ease, making it a flexible solution for dynamic workspaces.

How does the Qpod differ from VoltHub, PowerStor, and PowerStation?

• VoltHub – Best for proactive, high-volume lithium-ion battery charging with fire risk minimisation, suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial sites.
• PowerStor – Ideal for on-site charging of tool batteries, offering security and portability for construction and service environments.
• PowerStation – Designed for busy worksites to charge multiple tools and devices safely without supervision.
• Qpod – Tailored for office and small workspace use, focusing on portability and space efficiency while keeping lithium-ion batteries safely charged.

What is the Qpod ideal for?

The Qpod is designed for safely storing and charging lithium-ion batteries in office and indoor environments. Its compact and portable design makes it ideal for small spaces, meeting rooms, and shared workspaces.
