Explanation of Lithium-ion Battery’s Storage &Transportation &Safety

March 14, 2025

1. Storage

 

Electrostatic Protection: Batteries should be used and stored in areas free from static electricity.

Temperature and Humidity Control: Batteries should be stored in an environment with a temperature range of 10°C t 25°C (not exceeding 30°C) and a relative humidity of ≤75%.

Storage Conditions: Batteries should be kept away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure the storage area is clean, cool, dry, and well-ventilated, and protected from climatic influences.

Stacking Height: The stacking height of batteries depends on the packaging strength. Generally, paper packaging boxe should not exceed 1.5 meters in height, and wooden boxes should not exceed 3 meters.

Packaging and Display: Batteries should be stored and displayed in their original packaging. Once unpackaged, batteries should not be randomly piled up to avoid short circuits and damage.

Avoid Contact with Metallic Objects: Do not store or carry batteries in pockets or bags with necklaces, hairpins, coin screws, or other metallic items to prevent short circuits.

 

 

2. Transportation

 

Environmental Protection: During transportation, batteries should be protected from exposure to sunlight, fire, rain, water immersion, and corrosive substances.

Minimize Impact and Vibration: Impacts and vibrations during transportation and handling should be minimized. Long-Distance Transport: When shipping batteries by sea, they should be stored away from engine rooms. During summer, avoid long-term storage in poorly ventilated areas.

 

 

3. Safety

 

Prohibited Actions: Batteries must not be over-discharged, crushed, burned, or heated.

Short-Circuit and Charging: Do not short-circuit or charge the batteries.

User Disassembly: Do not disassemble batteries.

Temperature Limits: Do not use or heat batteries outside the recommended temperature range.

Welding: Do not weld directly on the battery surface.

Damaged Batteries: Do not use batteries with severe damage or deformation.

Storage in Appliances: Do not place batteries in hot containers, washing machines, or high-pressure vessels.
