Lithium batteries are classified as Class 9 hazardous materials during transportation due to their flammable and explosive nature, presenting significant safety risks. To ensure safe transport, lithium batteries typically require specialized safety containers for packaging and shipping. These safety containers serve several key functions:

1.Preventing Short Circuits and Overheating: During transit, mishandling or improper packaging can cause lithium batteries to short-circuit, potentially leading to fires or explosions. Safety containers prevent contact between batteries and avoid short circuits through moisture-proof and shock-absorbing designs, along with individual compartments.

2.Fire Protection: If a lithium battery ignites or explodes during transit, the safety container provides fire containment, preventing flames from spreading. For example, ACTBOX lithium battery safety boxes feature fire-resistant designs capable of maintaining external temperatures below 100°C during a battery fire. They are also equipped with integrated fire-extinguishing packets to further mitigate fire risks.

3.Facilitating Handling and Storage: Safety containers are often designed with ergonomic features like forklift pockets and handles, making the transportation and storage of lithium batteries significantly more convenient.

4.Reducing Environmental Pollution: Leakage from damaged lithium batteries during transport can cause environmental contamination. Safety containers minimize this risk by preventing battery rupture and leakage.

Lithium battery safety containers play a critical role in the transportation industry. By providing physical protection, fire containment, and packaging compliant with international standards, they substantially reduce the safety risks associated with lithium battery transportation, ensuring the safety and regulatory compliance of the shipping process.

Advantage:

Fire Protection: When the internal physical center temperature reaches 1000°C, the safety container maintains no observable deformation or softening within 30 minutes, while the external surface temperature remains below 100°C.

Impact Protection: The safety container incorporates shock-absorbing buffers to ensure that load-bearing components and structural fixtures remain secure during impacts, effectively preventing damage to the power batteries inside.

Leakage Prevention: Ensures that electrolyte solution from leaking power batteries does not escape the safety container.

Explosion Containment: The safety container is designed to be hermetically sealed and leak-proof. Validated through testing, it exhibits no observable deformation when subjected to 0.5 MPa water pressure or equivalent force.

Water & Dust Resistance: The safety container undergoes specialized sealing treatment to prevent external liquids from penetrating the enclosure.

Corrosion Resistance: The safety container undergoes anti-corrosion treatment to prevent structural deformation caused by electrolyte leakage from power batteries.

Monitoring & Alert System: The safety container is equipped with a stand-alone photoelectric smoke detector featuring audible, visual, smoke density, and temperature alarms, with integrated alarm linkage to monitoring platforms and mobile devices.

Load Capacity: The safety container's baseplate is engineered to withstand loads corresponding to its specified dimensions.

Example: Model YCAQX2600 safety container has a load capacity of ≥1.5 metric tons.

Environmental Safety: The safety container facilitates controlled pressure venting while incorporating toxic/hazardous gas treatment measures.
