Product information „LiBa®Box XS Transport & Storage Container“

Brief overview

The LiBa ® Box XS 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. It can be used for intact batteries as well as for defective or critically defective batteries.

The safety concept includes an integrated spill tray for substances hazardous to water, designated ventilation areas for controlled gas management, and the LiBa ® Sol extinguishing system, which activates automatically in the event of a thermal incident. The LiBa ® Box XS 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 its full compatibility with the LiBa ® Safe. The specially developed inner packaging can be integrated directly into the LiBa ® Box and supplements 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.

Areas of application & operating conditions

The LiBa ® Box XS is suitable for companies and organisations that need to safely store, transport or temporarily store lithium-ion batteries.

Typical areas of application include :

Transport of lithium-ion batteries in accordance with ADR
Storage and quarantine of defective or critically defective batteries
Recycling and disposal facilities
Automotive and vehicle industry
Battery manufacturers and service centres
Energy suppliers and energy storage technology
Research, development and testing laboratories
National and international hazardous goods logistics

Thanks to its combination of mechanical protection, containment system, gas management and extinguishing technology, the LiBa ® Box XS is particularly suitable for applications with heightened safety requirements.

Safety features

Integrated LiBa ® Sol extinguishing system

The LiBa ® Box XS 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 areas enable controlled pressure relief and gas management. This allows gases to be specifically vented and uncontrolled pressure build-up inside the container to be reduced.

Drip tray

The integrated drip tray is designed for water-polluting substances in accordance with StawaR and safely contains any leaking electrolytes, extinguishing agents or other liquids.

Instructions for use and 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 spill tray
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 compatibility between 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 its combination of 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.
