The danger of lithium-ion batteries and accumulators is well known by now. 

 

O.a. Youtube is full of videos of batteries and accumulators unexpectedly going into thermal-runaway or exploding and already "spewing fire" can quickly cause great damage. Particular attention should be paid to batteries and accumulators whose technical condition or State of Charge is unknown. 

 

The ADR has special requirements for the transportation of lithium ion batteries and accumulators. Packing instructions such as P903, P903a, P903b for UN 3480/3481 apply to lithium ion batteries. For defective or damaged batteries and accumulators, heavier instructions may apply such as P908, P909, P910 or P911 (via special provision 376/377). Especially for these "unreliable" lithium-ion batteries and accumulators, Hiltra Barneveld B.V. offers a special ADR approved transport box, the Hiltra® Batterybox™ S1.

 

The Batterybox is tested and approved for use according to ADR 2023 P911 and authorized for up to 500 Wh of battery capacity. Developed in accordance with the latest dangerous goods regulations (ADR 2023, P911) from the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing.

 

Proven by real fire tests:

Unnecessary for e.g. service and assembly services that return batteries to their customers for inspection, refurbishing, recycling or final disposal. That makes driving a lot safer!
