Wide temperature range from -20°C to +80°C
The container is made of robust polypropylene and can be used in a temperature range from -20°C to 80°C. However, batteries should always be stored at a temperature between 15°C and 30°C for longer periods of time
.
Use battery containers in combination with PyroBubbles ®
Individual and expensive transport solutions can be replaced by using this economical and standardised product. The boxes are permanently reusable and are available in Basic, Advanced and Premium versions. The battery storage and transport box is filled with PyroBubbles extinguishing granulate ®, which forms a closed and thermally insulating layer around a source of fire.
Delivery includes Pyrobubbles – the battery box is ready for immediate use
This version of the box comes with 23 small PE filling cushions weighing 0.22 kg (0.70 litres) each. The cushions are surrounded by thin, needle-punched polyethylene (PE) film, which dissolves in the event of a fire, releasing the extinguishing agent. Tension straps with quick-release fasteners ensure that the lid remains closed. Even in the event of a chain reaction (thermal runaway), the surrounding area is reliably protected.
Packaging group, special provisions and packaging instructions
Lithium batteries fall into dangerous goods class 9, which means that the goods pose a significant risk to the environment during transport. Numerous regulations and guidelines must therefore be observed when transporting lithium batteries. The transport boxes in the Lio Guard series have been specially designed to comply with the relevant safety regulations.
Battery container is certified for packaging group II
The containers in the Lio Guard series meet the requirements of packaging group II, which means that substances with a medium hazard potential may be transported in them. To achieve this classification, the box must be type-tested and withstand a drop height of 1.2 metres.
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 in accordance with their manual must comply with the provisions of Special Provision 376 (SV 376). 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. These cells must then be packed in accordance with packing instruction P 908. According to this guideline, it must be ensured, for example, that any electrolyte that is released is absorbed and that a non-electrically conductive thermal insulation material protects the environment from dangerous heat build-up.
For storage, transport and recycling in accordance with SV 377 of the ADR and packaging instruction P 909
Special provision SV 377 regulates the transport of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries that are being transported for disposal or recycling. Similar to packaging instruction P 908, P 909 requires compliance with guidelines for packaging group II. In addition, restrictions apply to the nominal energy and weight of lithium-ion cells and batteries.
Prototype transport according to SV 310 of the ADR and packaging instruction P 910
Special provision SV 310 regulates the transport of prototypes of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries. Packaging instruction P 910 then specifies requirements for packaging and dangerous goods mass, among other things.

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.
