Large-piece transportation of lithium battery energy storage cabinets

How do you store a lithium battery?

Maintain Optimal Storage Conditions: Store batteries at 15-25°C with 20-60% humidity to prevent overheating or degradation. Ensure Proper Ventilation: Keep storage areas well-ventilated to avoid gas build-up and heat accumulation. Use Fire-Resistant Storage: Utilise cabinets specifically designed for lithium batteries to prevent fire hazards.

Are lithium-ion batteries a dangerous cargo?

BESS with lithium-ion batteries is classed as a dangerous cargo, subject to the provisions of the IMDG Code. In the IMDG Code, there are multiple descriptions and shipping names for lithium cells and batteries, depending on their chemistry and whether they are stand-alone, within equipment, contained within vehicles or cargo transport units.

What are lithium batteries used for?

Lithium batteries known for their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rates. These characteristics make them ideal for a wide range of applications, from small consumer electronics to large-scale energy storage systems.

How are Li-ion batteries transported?

Transportation of Li-ion batteries is governed by the requirements of UN3840 (Class 9). Li-ion batteries cannot be shipped on a passenger plane and air or ocean transportation requires that the battery be up to 30% charged. Due to the difference in battery chemistries, storage and transportation temperatures vary significantly.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are the most common type of ESS where batteries are pre-assembled into several modules. BESS come in various sizes depending on their application and their usage is expected to rise considerably in coming years.

How do I choose a battery storage cabinet?

No matter what safety level you choose, all cabinets off er these key safety features: If you only want to store batteries in the cabinet, choose the STORE version. If you intend to charge (active storage) batteries directly in the cabinet, then choose the CHARGE version.
