Product information „Bauer Transport and Storage Container TYPE SAP 450-1 for lithium-ion batteries / lithium-ion rechargeable batteries“
The SAP 450-1 transport and storage container is ideal as a collection container for lithium-ion batteries in virtually all conditions.
Dimensions and capacity of the transport and storage container
The container has external dimensions of approx. 1200 x 1000 x 835 mm (LxWxH). Its capacity is approx. 450 l. The transport container’s tare weight is approx. 155 kg. The maximum permissible gross weight is 825 kg. The container is dual-coded as both 11A and 4A packaging. The sturdy base frame allows for access from two sides by industrial trucks. The container is stackable up to three high. The box is a sturdy construction made from 2 mm sheet steel. The lid and base frame are 2.5 mm thick.
Use and assembly of the SAP 450-1 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 authorised to set up, store, move and transport the container. The transport and storage container must be filled layer by layer with filling material and batteries until the maximum gross weight is reached. We offer two types of filling material: either vermiculite filling pads or PyroBubbles filling pads. If you wish to use your own filling material that you already have in stock at your premises, the container can also be ordered without filling material. The container can also be moved using the 4 lifting eyes on the top frame. The lid support can be locked at an angle of 70°. The full lid locking range is 270°. One of the 4 lid supports is lockable.
Storage instructions
The storage of dangerous goods in damaged or leaking transport containers is prohibited. The container must be placed on a level surface, in a well-ventilated area and under a canopy. Care must be taken to ensure that the transport container is protected from the weather, direct sunlight and radiant heat.
Transport instructions
All statutory regulations, as well as any labelling and markings, must be observed during transport. All handling and transport of the container must be carried out using suitable and safe equipment. Before transport, ensure that the lid is securely locked to the base frame. Observe the labelling and marking instructions specified in the ADR.
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 the nature of their contamination.
Certification and Guidelines
Lithium batteries fall under dangerous goods Class 9. Consequently, numerous requirements and guidelines must be adhered to when transporting lithium batteries.
Certified for Packaging Groups I, II and III
The SAP 450 container meets the requirements of Packing Groups I, II and III, which means that substances with high, medium and low hazard potential may be transported in it. To achieve this classification, the container must pass drop tests from a height of 1.8 m. All packaging bearing the code ‘X’ may be used for Packaging Groups I, II and III. The ‘X’ coding is also part of a dual-coding system.
Suitable for transport in accordance with SV 376 of the ADR and Packaging 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 as set out in their respective manuals must comply with the provisions of Special Provision 376 (SV 376). This applies, for example, to cells that have leaked or degassed, have sustained external or mechanical damage, have been identified as defective for safety reasons, or could no longer be diagnosed prior to transport. These cells must then be packed in accordance with Packing Instruction LP 904. According to this guideline, it must be ensured, for example, that any electrolyte released is absorbed, and a non-electrically conductive thermal insulator must ensure that the surroundings are protected against dangerous heat build-up.
Transport of prototypes in accordance with SV 310 of the ADR and Packing Instruction P 910
Special Provision SV 310 governs the transport of prototypes of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium-metal cells or batteries. Packing Instruction P 910 then sets out, amongst other things, requirements for the packaging and the mass of the dangerous goods.
Also ideal for the transport of new lithium-ion batteries in accordance with P 903 and as a storage and quarantine box
As no filler material is required, the container is also ideally suited as a quarantine container for defective batteries, to isolate any potential fire from the outset. The transport container is also suitable for the regular dispatch of new or undamaged lithium-ion batteries in accordance with Packing Instruction P 903.
Please note: ‘SAP’ type containers must not be used for ‘critically’ defective lithium-ion batteries as defined in SV 376 and P 911.
Future-oriented
Lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, if used improperly, these batteries can pose a significant risk during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing these boxes, you protect 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.
