FAQs about What to do if the battery enters the container system

How do you store a lithium battery?

Any Primary Lithium battery storage area should have immediate access to both a Class D with copper powder and ABC fire extinguisher. Never stack heavy objects on top of boxes containing lithium batteries to preclude crushing or puncturing the cell case. Severe damage can lead to internal short circuits resulting in a cell venting or explosion.

Are battery energy storage systems a threat to maritime safety?

12. March 2025 In recent years, demand for the maritime transportation of containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) has grown significantly. However, due to the high safety risks associated with energy storage containers, their transportation poses new challenges to maritime safety.

What should I do if a battery is leaking?

Wear safety glasses whenever handling batteries. Remove jewelry items such as rings, wristwatches, pendants, etc., that could come in contact with the battery terminals. All dented cells or batteries with dented cells should be disposed, regardless of electrolyte leakage.

What should I do if I have a lithium ion battery?

Taken appropriate first aid and/or CPR actions, as necessary. Get immediate medical attention. All waste management steps (collection, temporary storage, recycling, disposal, etc.) for spent or waste lithium and lithium ion batteries must conform to EH&S waste management guidelines.
