Protects high-value equipment
Protects expensive camera and technical equipment from consequential damage in the event of an incident.
Application area
Media & Studios – Battery safety
In studios, many camera, audio and drone batteries often charge in parallel during a production — in a confined space and close to high-value equipment.
Starting point
The starting situation in this area
Day-to-day production requires compact, unobtrusive solutions that can be integrated into existing studio spaces without disrupting the workflow.
A production runs on batteries: camera V-mounts, radio links, sound kit, lights, monitors, drones. Between two shoot days everything has to be full again at the same time — twenty or thirty batteries in circulation is normal, not the exception. For the most critical packs that creates a need for a monitored charging place instead of the trolley.
Charging happens wherever there is room: in the technical room, in the props store, on the trolley next to the case, in the OB van. Around it sits equipment in the five- and six-figure range, plus molton, fabrics and set material.
Then the time pressure. A lost shoot day cannot be made up, a studio booking cannot be moved. In day-to-day production there is practically no time for a thorough check of the batteries.

How it works
How it works in practice
- 01
Fit it in compactly
The box is placed discreetly in the studio, the prop room or the OB van, without disturbing production.
- 02
Charge different battery types together
Camera, sound and drone batteries are charged together in the monitored interior.
- 03
Protect equipment nearby
The closed system holds in flames and heat and so protects valuable camera and technical equipment around it.
- 04
Keep production running
Active intervention in critical states reduces the risk that a safety incident interrupts a shoot or a broadcast.
Benefits
What the deployment achieves in practice
Safe handling of many battery types
Suitable for the daily swap of a wide range of camera, audio and drone batteries.
Compact form factor
Can be integrated even where a studio has little space for additional safety measures.
Lower interruption risk
Active intervention minimises the risk of an interruption during filming or broadcast times.
In detail
Typical situation, risk and solution
| Typical situation | Risk without protection | With the RUK Li-Ion Safety Box |
|---|---|---|
| Many camera/drone batteries charge in parallel during production | High battery density in a confined space increases the risk | Central, monitored charging point for several batteries at once |
| High-value equipment in the immediate vicinity | A battery fire can destroy expensive camera and technical equipment | Containment of flames and heat within the enclosed system |
| Confined spaces in studios | Little room for separate fire protection measures | Two formats, easy to integrate: S 600 × 400 × 450 mm, M 600 × 600 × 450 mm. Size L is being researched and developed |
| Continuous operation during filming or broadcast times | An interruption caused by a safety incident is particularly costly | Active intervention minimises the interruption risk |
| Mobile production vehicles with very little space | Little room for a separate safety zone, and a high density of batteries | Compact design that also fits into tight vehicle spaces |
| Props and equipment rooms with combustible materials nearby | Sets, textiles and packaging raise the risk of spread | A closed system that keeps flames and heat away from the surrounding props |
