6 FAQs about [Lithium battery energy storage cabinet transportation requirements]
How safe is lithium battery transportation?
For lithium battery transportation the United Nations has clear guidance on testing and criteria to be met for safe transportation1, but warehouse storage dockside is not addressed. The following recommendations and considerations aim to help shippers and carriers in their warehousing choices and decision-making.
Do lithium batteries need to be followed by the shipper?
Yes. All the applicable provisions for lithium batteries will need to be followed by the shipper of such devices, including the limitations for devices that are “active” (on) during transport. The IATA Temperature Control Regulations (TCR) also apply to such shipments. AA.
Should you ship lithium batteries in bulk?
Shipping and warehousing lithium batteries in bulk or the products that include these batteries (e.g. cell phones, laptops, tools, toys) in their end product require a few more precautions than those packaged with more traditional nickel cadmium batteries.
Are lithium-ion batteries critical materials?
Given the reliance on batteries, the electrified transportation and stationary grid storage sectors are dependent on critical materials; today’s lithium-ion batteries include several critical materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite.13 Strategic vulnerabilities in these sources are being recognized.
Should lithium-based batteries be a domestic supply chain?
Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and electrical grid storage markets.
How do you store lithium ion batteries?
Store battery packs in original packing, unless packing has been opened for order picking. Do not stack pallets of Lithium-ion batteries, other than in a racking system. Ensure the storage facility has an approved, continuously-monitored fire detection system per NFPA* 72 or equivalent.
