Everything about Lithium Safety Containers: Safety and Applications

Lithium Safety Containers are essential for the safe storage of lithium batteries, which are widely used in various applications from electronics to electric vehicles. This page provides you with an in-depth insight into the security aspects, benefits, and practical applications of these advanced containers.

What are Lithium Safety Containers?

Lithium Safety Containers are specially designed storage facilities that follow strict safety standards to safely store lithium batteries. They are equipped with various safety features such as fire-resistant materials and ventilation systems to minimize risks such as overheating, fire and chemical leakage.

Safety Benefits of a Lithium Safety Container

  1. Fire Resistant Properties : Lithium safety containers are designed to suppress fire and prevent a fire from spreading. This is crucial because lithium-ion batteries can be susceptible to thermal runaway, which can lead to fire or explosion.

  2. Control of Gases and Smoke : In the event of a battery fire, these containers can help control harmful gases and smoke that are released. This protects the environment and reduces exposure to hazardous substances.

  3. Explosion protection : All our lithium safety containers are equipped with explosion protection which helps control pressure and minimize the risk of an explosion.

  4. Mechanical Protection : These containers also provide physical protection against mechanical damage such as bumps, drops or other physical impacts that can damage batteries and create a fire hazard.

  5. Thermal Insulation : Lithium safety containers are equipped with a climate control system to protect the batteries from extreme outside temperatures, which can help to extend the safety and lifespan of the batteries.

  6. Water and Moisture Protection : Our containers are waterproof, which helps protect the batteries from water-related damage, such as corrosion or short circuit.

  7. Easy to move : Our Lithium Safety Containers are easy to move thanks to the fact that they can be connected with a plug. Furthermore, they can function independently, making them easy to move or move by a container transporter.

  1. Opslag van Batterijen in de verschillende sectoren:
     

    • Infrastructuur & Constructie: Voor het veilig opslaan van lithium-ion batterijen die worden gebruikt in bouwgereedschappen en apparatuur.
       

    • Automotive Industrie: In opslagfaciliteiten en werkplaatsen voor het bewaren van batterijen die worden gebruikt in elektrische voertuigen en aanverwante onderdelen.
       

    • Civiele Techniek: Voor het veilig opslaan van batterijen die worden gebruikt in apparatuur en instrumenten binnen de civiele techniek.
       

    • Tuinonderhoud: Voor de opslag van batterijen die worden gebruikt in elektrische tuinapparatuur zoals grasmaaiers en trimmers.
       

    • Industrie & Productie: Voor het veilig opslaan van batterijen die zowel intern voor de machines en apparatuur word gebruikt maar ook voor het opslaan van de batterijen die in de producten worden verwerkt.
       

    • Particulieren: Voor individuen die lithium-ion batterijen veilig thuis willen opslaan, bijvoorbeeld voor elektrische fietsen, drones of andere consumentenelektronica.
       

    • Adviesbureaus: Bij het voorzien van advies over het opslaan van lithium batterijen in verschillende sectoren kan onze lithium safety container met vertrouwen worden aanbevolen.
       

  2. Opslag van Defecte of Beschadigde Batterijen:
     

    • Recyclingfaciliteiten: Voor de veilige opslag van afgedankte of defecte batterijen die gerecycled moeten worden.
       

    • Retourlogistiek: Voor het opslaan van defecte batterijen die teruggestuurd worden naar de fabrikant of een recyclebedrijf.
      ​

  3. Opladen van batterijen:
     

    • Deelmobiliteit: In de deelmobiliteit wordt er dagelijks ontzettend veel gebruik gemaakt van lithium batterijen. Denk hierbij aan fietsen, scooters en stepjes. Deze zullen ook vaak dagelijks weer moeten worden opgeladen. In de Lithium Safety Charge Container zit een opmaat gemaakte laadinrichting waarmee alle batterijen veilig kunnen worden geladen.
       

    • Laboratoria en onderzoekscentra: Elke dag zijn er nieuwe onderzoeken en doorbraken in de wereld van de lithium batterijen. Hiervoor worden er ook veel testen gedaan. Bijvoorbeeld voor het onderzoeken van de laadcyclus of de structurele integriteit. Maar ook het testen van hoge en lage temperaturen is van hoogst belang. Samen met partners kunnen wij diverse klimaat aanpassing maken aan de container om de batterij onder verschillende omstandigheden zoals temperatuur en vocht te kunnen laden, ontladen en testen.
       

  4. Beveiliging van Batterijsystemen (EOS/ESS):
    ​

    • Energieopslagsystemen: Voor het opslaan en vervoeren van grote batterijsystemen gebruikt in hernieuwbare energieopslag, zoals thuisbatterijen of commerciële energieopslagsystemen.

What to do in case of a lithium fire

  1. What is a lithium safety container?
    A lithium safety container is a specially designed storage container intended to minimize the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. These containers provide protection against fire, explosions, and other potential hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries.

  2. Why do I need a lithium safety container?
    Lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous if damaged, overheated or mishandled. Lithium safety containers provide a safe way to store these batteries, significantly reducing the risks of fire and explosion.

  3. How does a lithium safety container work?
    First of all, the Lithium Safety Containers detect in four different ways: CO, smoke, heat and in some models also hydrogen gas. If any of these factors are detected, the aerosol will activate and suppress the fire for 90 minutes. During this period, a siren and an optical signaller will sound on the outside of the container, and a message will be forwarded via the alarm center to a contact person chosen by the customer. This person can then choose to call in the fire brigade or take other actions.

  4. Where can I use a lithium safety container?
    Lithium safety containers can be used in a variety of environments, such as warehouses, manufacturing environments, laboratories, recycling facilities, and even at home for the storage of consumer electronics.

  5. Are different sizes of lithium safety containers available?
    Yes, lithium safety containers are available in different sizes and capacities to meet the specific needs of different applications, from small batteries for consumer electronics to large battery modules for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. View our product catalog to view the different sizes.

  6. Can lithium safety containers be used for both new and used batteries?
    Yes, lithium safety containers can be used for both new and used batteries. They are specially designed for the safe storage of defective, damaged or discarded batteries that may pose an increased risk.

  7. How do I maintain a lithium safety container?
    Maintenance of a lithium safety container includes regular inspections to check for damage or wear to the container. Make sure that the container remains clean and dry. You can also conclude a maintenance contract, whereby we inspect the container twice a year.
