Frequently asked questions

Question: Can I transport defective lithium batteries by air or sea?
Answer: No. Defective batteries are not permitted for transport by international sea or air freight. Use the battery.case P908.16 for road transport according to P908 regulations and follow the listed application instructions.

Question: What should I do with intact batteries destined for international transport?
Answer: Intact batteries can be transported by international sea or air freight only if you meet further requirements. Note that batteries over 100 Wh cannot be carried in passenger aircraft and must travel on cargo aircraft. Also, the charge level may not exceed 30% at any time.

Question: How do I secure batteries inside the case?
Answer: Use the pre-cut cube foam to adapt and stabilise each battery. For intact batteries under P903, foam protection is the primary recommendation. For defective batteries under P908, place each battery in the supplied fire protection bag and then secure with foam to prevent movement and short circuits.

Question: How does the case reduce fire-related risks?
Answer: The case has a safety system that closes automatically in the event of an internal fire and an activated carbon filter that reduces escaping gases and minimises soot formation. Certified tests showed no flame escape and outer shell temperatures stayed below 100°C during battery fire tests.

Question: What handling features help during transport?
Answer: The case is stackable and includes two eyelets for padlocks (Ø 7 mm), a rubberised carrying handle, a trolley handle and two smooth-running outdoor castors to make moving loaded cases easier and more secure.
