ENERGYCUBE
Advanced Extraction Labs
Advanced Extraction Labs manufactures the Energy CubeTM Series — custom-engineered,
prefabricated enclosures for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We provide the
structural containment, environmental control, and fire-rated separation so you can focus
on integrating your battery arrays and power electronics. Built to your exact specifications
in Santa Rosa, California.
Energy Cube enclosures are engineered for utility-scale BESS, data center backup, and microgrid storage.
Energy Cube is a custom-fabricated, code-compliant enclosure system built around the integration requirements of professional BESS deployments. It is not a consumer or off-the-shelf product.
Energy Cube is NOT designed for:
- Consumer batteries
- Automotive applications
- Residential home backup
- Off-the-shelf EV charging stations
- Marine, RV, or hand-held devices
Energy Cube IS designed for:
- Utility-scale BESS integrators
- Data center UPS & backup power
- Microgrid & commercial battery storage
- Telecommunications & cell-tower backup
- Industrial & defense backup power
Your Manufacturing Partner for BESS
Outsource the Enclosure, Focus on the Energy
The rapid growth of the energy storage market means system integrators and BESS manufacturers are scaling fast. But building the physical enclosure — managing the structural engineering, weatherproofing, thermal management, and fire ratings — diverts critical resources away from your core technology.
The AEL Energy Cube™ is the solution. We serve as your manufacturing partner, building the physical container to house your proprietary BESS technology. Whether you are building utility-scale storage, microgrids, or commercial peak-shaving systems, we deliver the engineered shell ready for your battery integration.

Applications
Where Energy Cubes Are Deployed
Utility-Scale Energy Storage
Large-format enclosures designed to house megawatt-scale battery arrays for grid stabilization, renewable energy integration, and frequency regulation.
Commercial & Industrial Microgrids
Right-sized enclosures for behind-the-meter applications, peak shaving, and backup power for manufacturing facilities and commercial campuses.
EV Charging Infrastructure
Prefabricated containment for the battery systems supporting high-speed DC fast-charging networks.
Data Center & Telecom Backup
Code-compliant battery enclosures for data centers, edge computing nodes, and cell tower infrastructure requiring reliable, fire-rated backup power storage on-site
Military & Defense
Ruggedized, secure energy storage enclosures for forward operating bases, military installations, and defense microgrids requiring mission-critical power independence.
AEL Energy Cubes™
Address critical aspects such as safety, environmental control, and structural integrity essential for battery storage. Customization options are available; please consult with our sales associate. Check out our explosion proof containers for more.
Engineered to Support Compliance
Designed Around the Codes Your Installation Has to Meet
Energy Cube enclosures are engineered to support customer compliance with NFPA 855 (Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems) and applicable local fire and building codes. Fire-rated assemblies, deflagration provisions, gas detection mounting points, and exhaust ventilation pathways are configured per project to align with the customer’s UL 9540-listed system and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Fire-Rated Assemblies
1-hour, 2-hour, and 3-hour fire-rated wall and roof assemblies. Configured per project based on adjacent occupancy, exposure distance, and AHJ requirements.
Deflagration & Ventilation Provisions
Pressure relief venting, exhaust ventilation pathways, and gas detection mounting points integrated into the enclosure design. Compatible with your selected detection and suppression systems.
Engineered Drawings for AHJ Submittal
Stamped structural, electrical, and mechanical drawings provided with every project. Submittal packets sized for plan review so your team can permit on schedule.
AEL is not the system integrator and does not provide the UL 9540-listed BESS itself. Energy Cube enclosures are built as the engineered envelope your UL 9540 system installs into. The combination is what achieves NFPA 855 compliance at the installed site.
Why Partner with AEL?
The AEL Manufacturing Advantage
West Coast Manufacturing
Built in California, reducing shipping costs and logistics complexity for West Coast and national deployments.
UL-Listed Hazardous Location Expertise
As a UL-listed manufacturer of hazardous location enclosures (C1D1/C1D2), we understand the rigorous quality control, documentation, and testing required for safety-critical electrical environments. That discipline carries into every Energy Cube we build.
Speed to Market
By outsourcing the enclosure fabrication to AEL, you accelerate your production timeline and increase your overall throughput without expanding your own manufacturing footprint.
