Genius Lio Guard XS-Box 2 Advanced plastic container for Li-ion batteries incl. Pyrobubbles

The Lio Guard XS-Box 2 Advanced plastic transport container presented here is the ideal solution for users who are looking for a reliable way to transport or store lithium batteries / lithium-ion batteries in accordance with the UN3090, UN3091, UN3480, UN3481 regulations and the latest standards. In addition to the storage of intact lithium batteries, the Lio Guard XS-Box 2 Advanced transport container is particularly suitable for damaged cells, which represent a significant source of danger both during transportation and storage. The Advanced series is characterized by the fact that the container is filled with loose bulk material. This is particularly helpful if there is a risk of electrolytes escaping. The plastic containers in the Lio Guard series are ideal for applications such as e-bike batteries, power tools and laptops that use lithium-ion batteries.

Size and capacity of the battery transport container

The Lio Guard XS-Box 2 Advanced transport container has a volume of 11 liters and can hold a hazardous goods quantity of 5.5 kg with a maximum size of 295 x 189 x 188 mm. The empty weight is 4.0 kg, with a maximum gross weight of 13 kg. This is the larger of two versions in the XS range of Lio Guard plastic transport containers. In contrast to the Basic series, this container has a removable powder-coated steel basket, which makes it easier to remove the lithium-ion cells.
The battery container is extremely handy and flexible to use. With external dimensions of 400 x 300 x 285 mm and internal dimensions of 297 x 191 x 190 mm (length x width x height), the Lio Guard XS-Box 2 Advanced transport and storage container is particularly compact and therefore ideal for applications in restricted environments and with few lithium-ion batteries. In addition, the boxes are stackable and therefore take up minimal storage space. The container is made of robust polypropylene and can be used in a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C. It should be stored between 15°C and 30°C. It should be stored between 15°C and 30°C. According to experience with standard commercial and everyday lithium-ion batteries, the total capacity of all batteries stored in the Genius Lio Guard XS-Box 2 Advanced should not exceed 0.8 kWh.

A coordinated system through the use of PyroBubbles®

Individual and expensive transport solutions can be replaced by using this economical and standardized product. The boxes are permanently reusable and are available in Basic, Advanced and Premium versions. The box is filled with the fire protection agent PyroBubbles®, which forms a closed and thermally insulating layer around a fire source. This version of the box comes with 1 bag of 12.5 kg (50 liters), which is used to fill the box. Tensioning straps with quick-release fasteners ensure that the lid remains closed. The environment is reliably protected even in the event of a chain reaction (thermal runaway).

Certification and guidelines

Lithium batteries fall into dangerous goods class 9, which means that the goods pose a risk to the environment during transportation that should not be underestimated. Numerous specifications and guidelines must therefore be observed when transporting lithium batteries. The transport boxes in the Lio Guard series have been specially designed to meet the strictest safety regulations.

Certified for packaging group II

The containers in the Lio Guard series meet the requirements of packaging group II, which means that substances with a medium hazard potential may be transported in them. To achieve this classification, the box must be type-tested and withstand a drop height of 1.2 m.

Suitable for transportation in accordance with SV 376 of the ADR and packing instruction P 908

All lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries that have been damaged and no longer comply with the applicable regulations according to their manual must comply with the provisions of Special Provision 376 (SV 376). This applies, for example, to cells that have leaked or degassed, have suffered external or mechanical damage or have been identified as defective for safety reasons or could no longer be diagnosed prior to transportation. These cells must then be packed in accordance with packing instruction P 908. According to this directive, for example, it must be ensured that any electrolytes released are absorbed and a non-electrically conductive thermal insulation material must ensure that the environment is protected from dangerous heat generation.

For storage, transportation and recycling in accordance with SV 377 of the ADR and packaging instruction P 909

Special provision SV 377 regulates the transportation of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries that are transported for disposal or recycling. Similar to packing instruction P 908, guidelines for packing group II must be observed in P 909. In addition, restrictions on the nominal energy and weight of the lithium-ion cells and batteries apply.

Prototype transports according to SV 310 of the ADR and packing instruction P 910

The special provision SV 310 regulates the transportation of prototypes of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries. Packaging instruction P 910 then specifies, among other things, requirements for packaging and the mass of dangerous goods.

VdS 3103 : 2019-06 (03) - Lithium batteries

To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage and provision of lithium batteries in public areas.

The following publication provides recommendations for preventing damage when providing lithium batteries in production and storage areas. It describes the most important findings from fire tests on the subject of storage and provision.
