Product information „PROTECTO Li-SAFE BLS walk-in battery container“

Short description

The Li-SAFE battery container of the BLS-Li series offers a safe and standards-compliant solution for the storage of lithium batteries. With its robust construction featuring 90-minute fire resistance (F90 / REI90) and an integrated catch basin to protect floors and bodies of water, the container meets high requirements for fire protection and safety.
The BLS-Li series includes several container sizes with different storage areas and catch volume. Depending on the model, container size, storage area, catch volume, as well as door configuration and interior equipment differ.

Since every battery container is an individual project solution and thus requirements such as battery type, storage quantity, installation location, fire protection class, and technical equipment must be considered precisely, we provide you with a structured project questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire, we can present you with your individual offer.

Construction & features

The Li-SAFE battery containers consist of a sturdy steel construction and are designed for permanent outdoor use.
Construction features:
  • stable welded frame construction from steel profiles
  • roof and side walls with non-combustible insulation core A1 (EI120)
  • additional weather protection for outdoor installation
  • corrosion protection coating in RAL 9002 gray-white
  • installation area with removable hot-dip galvanized grating
  • integrated catch basin made of steel sheet according to WHG/AwSV
This construction ensures high mechanical stability as well as a safe storage environment for lithium batteries.

Storage & safety

The containers of the BLS-Li series enable safe and controlled storage of lithium batteries.
Safety features:
  • 90 minutes fire resistance (F90 / REI90)
  • fire protection from inside to outside and from outside to inside
  • self-closing fire protection doors
  • low door threshold of approx. 165 mm
  • safety labeling in accordance with accident prevention regulations
Because of the container construction, a fire event is limited to a defined area and adjacent buildings or facilities are protected.

Electrical & fire protection

The containers can be equipped with various technical components depending on the use case.
Typical options:
  • technical ventilation systems
  • electrical installations for charging or monitoring systems
  • integration of fire alarm or sensor systems
The structural design of the container meets the fire protection requirements according to F90 / REI90.

Grounding & protective measures

For safe operation the container has additional protective measures.
  • grounding point on the building for equipotential bonding
  • attachment points in the roof structure for crane discharge
  • mounting lugs for floor anchoring
  • installation on a level and load-bearing surface required
These measures ensure safe operation and a stable installation.


Optional accessories

The battery containers can be adapted to different applications. Depending on use, various additional options are available.
Examples:
  • additional ventilation systems
  • air conditioning or heating
  • electrical installations
  • additional storage levels or shelving systems
  • fire or gas warning technology
The equipment can be individually adapted to the respective operation requirements.

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.
