The Lio Guard Storage Box 30 storage container made of galvanized steel presented here is the ideal solution for users looking for a reliable way to safely store lithium batteries / lithium-ion batteries according to UN3090, UN3091, UN3480, UN3481. This system was developed in cooperation with a leading manufacturer of metal boxes in Europe. In addition to the storage of intact lithium batteries, the Lio Guard Storage Box 30 Standard storage container is particularly suitable for damaged cells, which represent a significant source of danger for the environment.
Size and capacity of the battery storage container
The Storage Box 30 storage container is a lockable steel container with an insert inside for the safe storage of lithium batteries / lithium-ion batteries. The container has a total volume of 30 liters. The maximum permissible total weight is 178 kg and the maximum recommended dimensions for hazardous goods are 343 x 193 x 370 mm. The insert is non-removable and also ensures that the cells are effectively kept away from the outer walls of the container.
The Lio Guard Storage Box 30 storage container has an empty weight of 78 kg and has external dimensions of 600 x 400 x 750 mm and internal dimensions of the box without insert of 488 x 334 x 590 mm (length x width x height). The internal dimensionsof the insert are 363 x 213 x 390 mm. This area of the inner container can be used for storing the lithium-ion batteries. The containers can be stacked 3 high and are also very suitable for handling with industrial trucks. The box can be driven under from all sides and has a ground clearance of 100 mm.
A coordinated system thanks to the use of PyroBubbles®
Individual and expensive storage solutions can be replaced by using this economical and standardized product. The boxes are permanently reusable. The box is filled between the inner wall and the insert with approx. 14 kg of the fire retardant PyroBubbles®, which can form a closed and thermally insulating layer around a fire source. The lid of the box contains 40 small PE filling cushions with PyroBubbles®, each weighing 0.22 kg (0.70 liters). These cushions are surrounded by thin, needled polyethylene (PE) film, which dissolves in the event of a fire and can thus release the extinguishing agent. The environment is thus optimally protected from damaged lithium batteries / lithium-ion batteries. Even in the event of a chain reaction (thermal runaway), the environment is reliably protected.
Certification and guidelines
There are currently no legal regulations for the storage of lithium batteries / lithium-ion batteries. By purchasing this storage system, however, you are optimally equipped for any regulations that may arise.
Future-oriented
Lithium-ion batteries will be indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, if used improperly, batteries can pose a potential hazard during production, storage and transportation that should not be underestimated. By purchasing these boxes, you protect yourself against major financial losses right from the start. International customers from the automotive and energy supply sectors, among others, rely on this proven technology.

That depends on various factors that need to be considered:
- size of the battery(ies)
- condition (e.g. non-critical, defective, critically defective or prototype)
- power
Transport boxes are available in many different sizes and specifications. The packaging group for which the box is suitable is indicated for each product.

Even if the batteries are not critical, remember to protect them from shocks and to order appropriate filling material if it is not already included in the box.
Yes. Should a battery reach a critical state and cause a fire, separating the batteries will prevent the fire from spreading and multiplying.
Generally, the insulation and protection material should line all sides of the container. The batteries are stored between individual layers.
We also have containers in our program that already have the protective material integrated into the outer wall. No further protective layer is necessary here.
The technical principles for storage and transportation solutions are very similar. The transport boxes are also subjected to extensive tests in accordance with ADR (drop test, fire test, etc.) to confirm compliance with the ADR regulations. The packaging regulations are extensive and regulated by law.
There are currently no comparable regulations for storage. Nevertheless, manufacturers of storage boxes regularly carry out appropriate tests.
The right container depends on the type and size of the battery to be shipped or stored.

The transportation of batteries is subject to ADR regulations.
The number, size and weight, energy density and condition of the batteries are crucial parameters for finding a suitable transport container for lithium-ion batteries. The selection process is complex and should be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. We have a trained hazardous materials officer on our team. Please feel free to contact us.
Plastic containers are cheaper but not as durable as metal containers. They are suitable, for example, for non-critical batteries, defective batteries, prototypes and end-of-life batteries. They can be used for both storage and transportation.
Metal containers are required, for example, when dealing with critically defective batteries.
The exact packaging instructions for these cases can be found in the ADR or by consulting a certified hazardous materials specialist.
To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage of lithium-ion batteries, which does not mean that they should be stored without suitable protective measures.
It is best to check with your insurer to find out which measures they recognize as suitable in the event of a claim.
For example, a suitable box could already be recognized as spatial separation.
