LOGISTEED, Ltd. has engineered an all-steel, fire-resistant container named "LIB-CON™" to enhance the storage efficiency of lithium-ion batteries. We are currently applying for a patent.
Background and Purpose
Lithium-ion batteries (hereinafter referred to as LIB) have become a growing market in recent years, particularly for use in EVs. Not only new LIBs but also those in the fields of recycling and reuse have become a focus of Japan's industrial policy and economic security policy. On the other hand, when storing LIBs in warehouses, there are many restrictions on the storage methods and the structure of facilities depending on the total amount of electrolyte, and there are concerns about the shortage of storage warehouses. In light of this situation, we have developed a dedicated container that meets the requirements of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency Notification: Fire Hazard No. 303 of Reiwa 6. When storing this container in a general warehouse, the regulations on the open space between hazardous materials (containers) are relaxed, allowing for the storage of more containers. We have been implementing this at our group's logistics center since January 2025. We will continue to respond to the needs for expanding the storage and handling of LIBs in the future.
Features of LIB-CON
LIB-CON is a dedicated all-steel container designed for the safe and efficient storage of LIBs. By utilizing LIB-CON, it becomes possible to store LIBs even in general warehouses, addressing the shortage of storage warehouses and reducing storage costs.LIB-CON has the following five features.
1. The design enables high storage efficiency through its foldable and stackable structure.
2. Safety measures to prevent electrolyte leakage.
3. Workability due to the double-door structure.
4. Design expandability that allows for customization according to the stored items.
5. Reliability that meets the standards set by Fire Hazard No. 30.
