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, significantly lowering management hurdles even when handling large volumes of electrolyte*1.

    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

    LIB-CON is designed for efficient stacking both when assembled and collapsed, ensuring optimal use of storage space.
    In the collapsed state, all parts, including the removable lid, can be stored together within the unit. This allows each container to be stacked individually, minimizing footprint during non-use.

    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.

    High workability

    The container features a front double-door panel, allowing smooth loading and unloading without removing the top lid or upper stacked units. Even when stacked, contents can be accessed easily by opening the front doors.
    Its lightweight design enables two operators to assemble and collapse the unit with ease, making it highly practical for on-site handling.

    Customizable

    LIB-CON offers flexible, customizable design options tailored to each customer's needs.
    We propose optimal specifications based not only on the size, weight, and packaging of the stored items, but also on the operational requirements.

  • *In the case of large specifications, the front panel is a detachable type instead of a double-door type.

    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*. 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.

  • *Operational conditions may vary depending on the municipality. Please check with your local fire department in advance.
