Product information „BUNCKER® Transport and Storage Containers Pro Line Heavy XXL“
Lithium batteries are used in a wide range of applications and are becoming increasingly popular due to their high energy density and long service life. However, it is important to know that lithium batteries, when used properly, are generally safe, but still carry certain risks, including the possibility of thermal runaway.
Given the potential hazards associated with lithium batteries, safe and certified packaging for transport, storage, and handling is essential. BUNCKER® has developed a patented packaging solution to mitigate risks and provide protection in the event of thermal runaway or other incidents. The patented fireproof, insulating, and filtering material, known as “Altilium,” and the mechanisms for controlled containment and venting of gases are intended to curb thermal runaway, which can occur with lithium batteries. Since BUNCKER® can protect both non-critical and critical lithium batteries, these systems offer a versatile solution.
Specifically, the transport of critical lithium-ion batteries continues to pose a major challenge. The storage and transport container has been developed for the safe transport of critically defective lithium-ion cells. Unlike comparable metal boxes of Packaging Group I, no filling material is required here. This makes this container the ideal solution for intra-company storage and transport in all battery states. The container has been tested and meets the ADR/Packaging Instruction LP 906 requirements. Please contact us with any questions at info@lion-care.com or +49 7151 256 4811.
Size and Capacity of the Battery Transport Container - Approved for Lithium-Ion Batteries up to 200 kWh.
The transport container has external dimensions of approximately 2800 x 2000 x 950 mm (L x W x H). Inside the box, the dimensions are 2480 x 1720 x 550 mm (L x W x H), which corresponds to a content of about 2340 liters. It also has an approval as a Packaging Group I large packaging made of steel (LP). The sturdy base frame is 2-way fork-liftable. The empty weight of the transport container is about 1120 kg. The maximum permissible load is about 1540 kg, which corresponds to a permissible gross weight of 2660 kg. At XXL size it is permissible to transport lithium-ion batteries up to 200 kWh. Please contact us for the authorization if the container is used for this purpose: info@lion-care.com or +49 7151 256 4811.
Application of the BUNCKER® Pro Line Heavy XXL Transport and Storage Container
To load the container, first open the side panels and release the clamps. Then the hood can be lifted with a forklift. The batteries can then be placed onto the base plate for loading. A non-conductive mat is located on the plate. The batteries themselves can be secured with tie-down straps. The hood can then be placed back on, the clamps closed, and the side panels folded closed. Please refer to the instruction video in the "Downloads" tab for details.
The container can also be stacked during storage to maximize space efficiency.
Contents of the UN Certification
The UN certification is an important aspect of BUNCKER®, as it indicates that the packaging meets the safety standards for the transport of dangerous goods set by the United Nations. This certification ensures that the product has passed a fire, leakage, and impact test as well as an evaluation for the worst-case scenario to ensure it effectively contains and prevents the hazards associated with lithium batteries. The tests and evaluations show that BUNCKER® can suppress thermal runaway.
If defective or damaged batteries need to be packaged, a UN approval based solely on drop and stack tests is not sufficient. For shipping in accordance with P911/LP906, an additional certification is required that confirms that the packaging complies with the following parameters:
- Withstand a worst-case scenario fire test
- No leakage occurs
- The container has an effectively functioning gas management system
- High heat resistance must be provided
These criteria must be met based on the maximum tested kWh of the lithium-ion batteries mentioned.
Therefore, always request the transport certificates for P911/LP906, which confirm the approved type of packing instruction, how to secure the batteries against shifting, how to make the box fireproof, and the consumption limits in kg and kWh for road (ADR), rail (RID), and sea transport (IMDG).
A copy of these certificates should accompany the packaging during transport.
A Safe System thanks to the patented insulating material Altilium®
The BUNCKER® Pro Line HEAVY is fully equipped with our patented Fibercon Altilium® CP Blanket (FACB). This innovative product has the potential to filter toxic HF gases. In addition, the FACB has non-burnable, fireproof, and insulating properties.

Transport Notes
All legal regulations, as well as any markings and labels, must be observed during transport. All handling and transport operations of the container must be carried out with suitable and operation-safe means. Before transport, ensure that the hood is securely closed onto the base frame.
Repair and Disposal
Damaged transport containers must not be reused. Repair may only be performed by manufacturer-authorized specialists or by the manufacturer itself. Contaminated components must be disposed of in accordance with their level of contamination.
Certification and Guidelines
Lithium batteries belong to the dangerous goods class 9. Therefore, numerous requirements and guidelines must be followed when transporting lithium batteries. The transport box has been specifically designed to meet the strictest safety regulations.
Certified for Packaging Group I
The Pro Line Heavy container meets the requirements of Packaging Group I, meaning substances with high hazard potential may be transported in it. To achieve this classification, the boxes must pass drop tests from a height of 1.8 m. All packaging with the code “X” may be used for Packaging Groups I (II and III).
Meets ADR / Packaging Instruction LP 906 Guidelines
All lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries that have been damaged and no longer conform to the applicable regulations in their manual must comply with the provisions of this special regulation. This applies, for example, to cells that have leaked or vented, have sustained external or mechanical damage, or have been identified as defective for safety reasons or could not be diagnosed prior to transport. If it is determined that lithium-ion cells or batteries under normal transport conditions could pose a risk of rapid disassembly, dangerous reactions, flame formation, dangerous heat development, or dangerous emission of toxic, corrosive, or flammable gases or vapors, these defective cells must be transported in accordance with packaging instruction P 911 or LP 906. These packaging guidelines in turn require Packaging Group I.
Additionally, there are extra test requirements: During a possible malfunction of the lithium-ion battery, the surface of the package must never exceed 100°C. Only short-term temperature spikes up to 200°C are permissible. No flames may form outside the package, and no fragments may escape from the package. Furthermore, the structure of the package must always be maintained and a gas management system must ensure internal pressure relief. Compliance with the test requirements must be demonstrated by real-fire tests.
If you want to use the container for the transport scenario “critically defective” under LP 906, please contact us to obtain the corresponding authorization for this transport case: info@lion-care.com or +49 7151 256 4811 .
