Certification and guidelines
Lithium batteries fall under danger goods class 9, which means that transporting these goods involves significant environmental risk. Therefore, numerous requirements and guidelines must be observed when transporting lithium batteries.
Certified for Packaging Group II
The containers of the FLEX-BOX series meet the requirements of Packaging Group II, meaning substances with medium hazard potential may be transported in them. To achieve this classification, drop tests from 1.2 m must be passed.
Differing properties and filling materials
Height of the folded box
The "Basic" variant offers a folded height of 276 mm, enabling compact and space-saving storage. The "Advanced" and "Premium" variants offer a folded height of 420 mm.
E-glass fiber needle mats and PyroBubbles provide extra protection
The Advanced variant protects the contents with E-glass fiber needle mats against shocks and vibrations. This filling material is non-combustible and non-electrically conductive. For maximum safety, the "Premium" variant is available.
Fill material and safety features
For the "Basic" variant, no additional fill material is required. This option is ideal for transporting undamaged and non-defective batteries, in accordance with packaging instruction P 903 that requires no special fill materials. For increased safety, we recommend the "Advanced" variant, which is equipped with E-glass fiber needle mats. With the Advanced variant, damaged and defective batteries and prototypes can also be stored or transported. For maximum safety and protection, we recommend the "Premium" variant. This uses E-glass fiber needle mats in combination with 12 included PyroBubbles cushions. The box is filled with the fire protection material PyroBubbles®, which forms a closed and thermally insulating layer around a fire source. The PyroBubbles provide an additional fire protection function and contribute to safety, especially when storing or transporting lithium batteries or lithium-ion cells.
Future-oriented
Lithium-ion batteries will remain indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, improper use can pose a significant risk during manufacture, storage, and transport. By acquiring these boxes, you proactively protect yourself against larger financial damages. International customers, including those in the automotive and energy supply sectors, rely on this proven technology.

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.
