The operation of a Lithium Safety Container

Updated on: May 8

What exactly is a Lithium Safety Container?

A Lithium Safety Container is made from a shipping container. We convert this into a product that can guarantee a WBDBO of at least 90 minutes. On the inside of the container we apply insulating sheeting and an aerosol extinguishing unit from AF-X Fire Solutions.


What variations of the Lithium Safety Container are there?

We build the Lithium Safety Container in 3 different variants:

  1. The Lithium Safety Storage Container: This container is designed for storing lithium batteries. This can be done for example on pallets or in racks.

  2. The Lithium Safety Charging Container: This container is designed for charging lithium batteries. Customers who order this type of container are often part-mobility or micromobility companies. It allows them to safely charge scooter or bicycle batteries in large numbers at the same time.

  3. The Lithium Safety EOS Container: This container is designed to hold an energy storage system (EOS). These types of systems are used for peak shaving, grid reinforcement, trading on the energy market or to use excess solar energy at night, among other things.


How does a Lithium Safety Container work?

A Lithium Safety Container contains several detectors that can detect smoke, co, heat and hydrogen gas. The detectors can send a signal to the BMC (fire alarm control center) which can then initiate a forwarding, extinguishing and any further follow-up steps. At the time the fire department arrives on scene, they can determine if the aerosol has done its job sufficiently and isolate the fire source from the rest of the container's contents. Should this not be the case, the fire department can connect their fire hose via the Storz coupling to the container and begin cooling the contents of the container. This way, all damage is limited to the container and adjacent properties will not be damaged. Click on the video below for a short demonstration.
