Product information „GELKOH LiBa®Box Transport & Storage Containers“

Brief overview

The LiBa ® Box is a specially developed transport and storage solution for lithium-ion batteries. It combines a robust steel construction with integrated safety features and enables the safe handling, temporary storage and ADR-compliant transport of lithium batteries of various sizes and condition classes. The product range is available in numerous sizes and can be used for intact batteries as well as defective or critically defective ones.

The safety concept includes an integrated spill tray for water-polluting substances, designated ventilation areas for controlled gas management, and the LiBa ® Sol extinguishing system, which activates automatically in the event of thermal runaway. The LiBa ® Box has been specially developed to reduce the risks of thermal runaway whilst protecting people, infrastructure and the environment.

A key component of the system concept is full compatibility with the LiBa ® Safe. The specially developed inner packaging can be integrated directly into the LiBa ® Box and complements the outer packaging with additional safety features such as gas management, HF reduction and particle retention. This creates a multi-stage safety and packaging system for storage and the transport of dangerous goods.

Product overview

The LiBa ® Box is available in eleven different sizes – from XS to XLmax – and can therefore be adapted to different battery sizes and transport requirements.

Safety features

Integrated LiBa ® Sol

extinguishing system

The LiBa ® box is equipped with the LiBa ® Sol extinguishing system. The system activates automatically at temperatures of around 180 °C and requires no external power supply. It helps to contain thermal runaway events and contributes to reducing the impact of a battery fire. At the same time, it treats the fire and process gases generated during thermal runaway.

Gas management

The integrated ventilation surfaces enable controlled pressure relief and gas management. This allows gases to be specifically vented and reduces uncontrolled pressure build-up inside the container.

Drip tray

The integrated drip tray is designed to comply with StawaR regulations for substances hazardous to water and safely contains any leaking electrolytes, fire-extinguishing agents or other liquids.

ADR and UN compliance

Depending on the version, the LiBa ® Box meets numerous requirements for the transport of lithium batteries as dangerous goods and is approved for various ADR special provisions and packing instructions. This also makes it suitable for the transport of damaged or critically defective batteries.

Instructions for use & operation

  • Suitable for the transport and storage of lithium-ion batteries
  • Use in accordance with the applicable ADR regulations
  • Use of suitable inner packaging in accordance with dangerous goods legislation
  • Regular visual inspection of closures, ventilation openings and the drip tray
  • For outdoor storage, the optional rain cover is recommended
  • Operation and loading should be carried out by trained personnel
  • Select the appropriate container size according to battery type and risk assessment

System compatibility with LiBa ® Safe

A key advantage of the LiBa ® system is the complete integration of the LiBa ® Box and the LiBa ® Safe.

The LiBa ® Safe acts as a specially developed inner packaging for lithium-ion batteries and can be integrated directly into the LiBa ® Box. This creates a multi-stage safety concept that combines storage and transport in a single solution.

Two safety levels – one system

LiBa ® Safe (inner packaging):

  • Gas management system
  • HF-reducing properties
  • Multi-layer functional fabric
  • Particle barrier
  • Direct battery housing

LiBa ® Box (outer packaging):

  • Mechanical protection
  • Integrated fire-extinguishing system LiBa ® Sol
  • Spill tray in accordance with StawaR
  • ADR- and UN-compliant outer packaging
  • Safe handling with a forklift or crane

ADR-compliant system solution

The combination of LiBa ® Safe and LiBa ® Box enables a tailored dangerous goods packaging solution for the transport and storage of lithium-ion batteries in accordance with applicable regulations. The system offers additional safety, particularly in the case of defective or critically defective batteries.

No additional re-packaging

Batteries that have already been secured inside a LiBa ® Safe can be placed directly into the appropriate LiBa ® Box without the need for additional re-packaging. This reduces handling effort, the risk of damage and safety risks.

Conclusion

The LiBa ® Box is a versatile transport and storage solution for lithium-ion batteries. Thanks to the combination of a robust steel construction, an integrated spill tray, an automatic extinguishing system and an ADR-compliant design, it offers a high level of safety for handling lithium batteries. When used in conjunction with the LiBa ® Safe, it creates a comprehensive safety and packaging concept that covers storage, quarantine and the transport of dangerous goods efficiently and in compliance with regulations.
