Fire-resistant container for the safe storage of lithium-ion batteries "LIB-CON®"
"LIB-CON®" is a dedicated all-steel container designed for the safe and efficient storage of lithium-ion batteries (LIB), with a patent currently pending. With the introduction of LIB-CON, it will be possible to safely store LIBs in general warehouses, which previously required storage in hazardous materials warehouses. This solves the problem of supply shortages in hazardous materials warehouse and also contributes to reducing storage costs.
Advantages of introducing LIB-CON
LIBs are classified as hazardous materials under Class 4, Category 2 petroleum, which complicates their storage and management in warehouses.
The introduction of LIB-CON relaxes the requirements for storing LIBs in general warehouses*1, significantly lowering management hurdles even when handling large volumes of electrolyte*2.
Relaxation of general warehousing requirements enabled by LIB-CON
| Amount of electrolyte for water-soluble or non-water-soluble LIBs*3 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Less Volume | Medium Volume | Large Volume | |
| Availability of storage | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Operational Confirmation | Not necessary | Necessary | Necessary |
*3Water-soluble LIB... Less Volume: less than 400 liters, Medium volume: less than 2,000 liters, Large Volume: 2,000 liters or more
Non-water-soluble LIB... Less volume: less than 200 liters, Medium volume: less than 1,000 liters, Large Volume: 1,000 liters or more
5 features of LIB-CON
LIB-CON is a dedicated all-steel container designed for the safe and efficient storage of LIBs. By using LIB-CON, LIBs can be efficiently stored in general warehouses. LIB-CON combines the following five features.
- Collapsible and Stackable
- Electrolyte leakage prevention measures
- High workability
- 8 sizes available
- Complies with Fire Hazard No. 303
Collapsible and stackable
LIB-CON is designed for efficient stacking in both assembled and collapsed configurations.
In the collapsed state, all parts, including the removable lid, can be stored together within the unit, allowing each container to be stacked as a single unit.
When not in use or during empty transport, it requires approximately less than one-third of the space compared to its assembled state.
The base frame structure also helps reduce the risk of tipping during forklift handling.

Electrolyte leakage prevention measures
In consideration of safety, even in the unlikely event that the electrolyte leaks from LIB, LIB-CON can hold up to about 450 milliliters (up to about 225 milliliters per side) at the base corner of the columns.
Simply loosen the drain bolt to easily drain the electrolyte.
The leaked electrolyte inside the LIB-CON travels down the grooves and accumulates in the corner, and is drained by loosening the drain bolt.
High workability
The LIB-CON (Standard Type*4) features front-opening double doors, allowing smooth access to the contents not only when placed on the ground, but also when stacked—without removing the upper container or roof.
Its lightweight design enables assembly and collapsing by two operators, making it easy to handle on site.

8 sizes available
Available in two types—standard and large—each offered in four sizes, for a total of eight configurations.
Customization is also available to meet specific requirements, including cargo dimensions, weight, packaging conditions, and container operation needs.
Complies with Fire Hazard No. 303
LIB-CON has undergone a series of performance evaluation tests and has been confirmed to meet the standards of Fire Hazard No. 303*5. Its robust and reliable structure ensures safe use with confidence.
The container is constructed entirely from steel and contains no flammable or soluble materials, ensuring enhanced safety and durability.
