Product information „Genius Lio Guard Transport box “
Brief overview
The GENIUS Lio Guard transport boxes have been developed for the safe transport and storage of damaged, defective and critically defective lithium-ion batteries. The product range comprises various container sizes made from stainless steel (E Series) and galvanised steel (B Series), offering suitable solutions for everything from small rechargeable batteries to large battery systems and battery modules.
The steel containers comply with current requirements for the transport of dangerous goods and are designed for lithium batteries in accordance with UN 3090, UN 3091, UN 3480 and UN 3481. In conjunction with the integrated fire protection concept based on PyroBubbles® Premium, they help to limit the effects of thermal runaway and enable safe transport and safe temporary storage.
Depending on the application, single-walled and double-walled versions as well as various sizes are available. All systems are reusable, stackable and designed for professional use in industry, workshops, logistics and recycling. The robust steel construction ensures high mechanical strength and a long service life.

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.
