Product information „Bauer TYPE LIP-F 2800 Transport and storage container“

The transport container was developed for the safe transport of critically defective lithium-ion batteries. Unlike comparable metal boxes in packaging group I, no filling material is required here. This makes this container the ideal solution for internal storage and transport in all battery conditions. The container has been tested and meets the requirements of ADR/Packaging Instruction LP 906 for max. 144 kWh BEV batteries. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Size and capacity of the battery transport container - Approved for BEV batteries up to 144.5 kWh

The transport container has external dimensions of approx. 2880 x 2080 x 1040 mm (LxWxH). The interior dimensions of the box are 2540 x 1750 x 545 mm (LxWxH), which corresponds to a capacity of approximately 2.8 m³. The transport container weighs approx. 980 kg. The maximum permissible capacity is approx. 1000 kg for max. 144.5 kWh BEV batteries. This corresponds to a permissible total weight of 1947 kg. It is also approved as large steel packaging (LP) in accordance with packaging group I. The sturdy base frame can be accessed on all four sides by industrial trucks, and the clearance height is 100 mm.

Use of the LIP-F 2800 transport and storage container

Before each use, the integrity of the container and all its components must be checked. Only trained and instructed personnel may be assigned to set up, store, move and transport the container. Depending on the battery (design, energy content, condition, etc.), the distance between the battery and the container walls may need to be adjusted. A forklift must be used to lift the cover off the base plate. Fork pockets for lifting are located on the lid of the container. The lithium-ion batteries are secured to the base plate using the tension straps provided.

Storage instructions

The storage of dangerous goods in defective and leaking transport containers is prohibited. The storage area must be on a level surface, well ventilated and under a roof. Care must be taken to ensure that the transport container is protected from the weather, direct sunlight and radiant heat.

Transport instructions

All legal regulations and any markings and labels must be observed during transport. All movements and transport of the container must be carried out using suitable and safe means. Before transport, ensure that the cover is securely closed to the base frame.

Repair and disposal

Damaged transport containers must not be reused. Repairs may only be carried out by specialists authorised by the manufacturer or by the manufacturer itself. Contaminated components must be disposed of properly in accordance with their contamination.

Custom colour options available

In this version, the container is finished in RAL 5001 green-blue. Other colours are available on request. Please contact us if required.

Certification and guidelines

Lithium batteries fall into dangerous goods class 9. Numerous regulations and guidelines must therefore be observed when transporting lithium batteries. The transport box has been specially designed to meet the most stringent safety regulations.

Certified for packaging group I

The LIP-F 2800 container meets the requirements of packaging group I, which means that substances with a high risk potential may be transported in it. To achieve this classification, the boxes must withstand drop tests from a height of 1.8 metres. All packaging with the code "X" may be used for packaging groups I (II and III).

Complies with ADR guidelines / packaging instruction LP 906

All lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries that have been damaged and no longer comply with the applicable regulations in accordance with their manual must comply with the provisions of this special provision. This applies, for example, to cells that have leaked or degassed, suffered 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 the lithium-ion cells or batteries could, under normal transport conditions, undergo rapid decomposition, dangerous reaction, flames, dangerous heat generation or a dangerous emission of toxic, corrosive or flammable gases or vapours, these defective cells must then be transported in accordance with packaging instruction P 911 or LP 906. These packaging guidelines then stipulate packaging group I.

Additional testing requirements also apply: during a possible accident involving the lithium-ion battery, the surface of the package must never exceed 100°C. Only short-term temperature peaks of up to 200°C are permitted. No flames may form outside the package and no splinters may escape from the package. Furthermore, the structure of the package must be maintained at all times and a gas management system must ensure pressure relief inside. Compliance with the test requirements must be demonstrated by means of real fire tests

If you would like to use the container for "critically defective" transport in accordance with LP 906, please contact us to obtain the appropriate approval for this type of transport: info@lion-care.com or +49 7151 256 4811 .

Also ideal for transporting new lithium-ion batteries in accordance with LP 903 and as a storage and quarantine box

As no filling material is required, the container is also ideal as a quarantine container for defective batteries in order to isolate a possible fire from the outset. Thanks to its dangerous goods approval, critically defective batteries can be transported away immediately. In addition to critically defective batteries, the transport container is also suitable for the regular shipment of new goods in accordance with packaging regulation LP 903.

Future-oriented

Lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, if used improperly, batteries can pose a potential hazard that should not be underestimated during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing these boxes, you are protecting yourself against major financial losses right from the start.

FAQ

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.
