B&W Outdoor Battery.case P908.08 – Safe Transport & Storage of Defective Lithium Batteries (P908 Approved)

The B&W Outdoor Battery.case P908.08 stores and transports intact and defective lithium batteries safely. It combines a sturdy polypropylene outer shell with an internal metal container and a patented safety system that closes automatically in the event of a fire. The case is tested and approved as hazardous goods packaging and is suitable for road transport under the relevant regulations.

Key features at a glance

• Unique safety system closes automatically if a battery fire starts — registered with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office.
• High-quality plastic case (polypropylene, PP) with an internal metal container for added protection.
• Activated carbon filter reduces escaping gases and lowers soot formation during a battery fire.
• Tested and approved as hazardous goods packaging in accordance with ADR P908; also approved for P903 transport and storage of intact lithium batteries.
• Conforms to UN packaging specifications 3480/3481.
• Tested under real conditions: no flames escaped during tests and the outer shell remained below 100°C.
• Pre-punched cube foam that you can adapt to fit different battery shapes for secure transport.
• Allows safe charging while closed thanks to a dedicated cable routing and a slide-in plate that secures cables up to 5 mm in diameter.
• Includes one fireproof protective bag for additional protection during storage or charging.

Approved uses and test results

The case is officially approved for both P903 and P908 transport regulations. Therefore, you can use it for:

• Transport and storage of intact lithium batteries (P903).
• Transport and storage of defective lithium batteries (P908).

Testing under realistic conditions showed that flames did not escape the case during a battery fire and that the outer shell temperature remained below 100°C. The case also meets the strict requirements of UN packaging specifications 3480/3481.

When to use P903 and P908 guidance

Follow the specific instructions for each transport scenario to ensure safe handling.

P903 – Transport and storage of intact lithium batteries

• Use the foam insert to protect batteries and adapt the foam to the battery shape.
• Fire bags do not have to be used for intact batteries, but protect batteries from short circuits and follow any further detailed operating instructions if required.

P908 – Transport and storage of defective lithium batteries

Use the case for batteries with visible or declared defects such as:

• Batteries declared defective for safety reasons.
• Deformed or inflated batteries.
• Degassed cells or burnt-out cells or batteries.
• Melted plastic parts or connections on the battery.
• A detectable strange gas smell.
• BMS indications identifying defective cells (if a BMS is present).
• Damaged battery casing.

Design and practical details

The Battery.case P908.08 combines practical design with user-friendly features. You can adapt the pre-punched cube foam to fit most battery shapes. The case includes a foam lid and one fireproof protective bag (39 x 26 cm) for extra containment. Its cable routing system and slide-in plate let you charge a battery while the case remains closed, securing cables with a maximum permissible diameter of 5 mm.

Additional practical features include stackability, two eyelets for padlocks (Ø 4.5 mm) and a rubberised carrying handle for easier transport. The case keeps batteries stable and reduces the chance of short circuits when packed correctly.

Typical use cases

• Storage and transport of lithium-ion batteries from e-bikes, drones or cordless tools when you need secure containment.
• Temporary holding of batteries flagged as defective or showing signs of damage for safe transit to service or disposal.
• Charging a battery safely inside a containment case using the provided cable routing while keeping the case closed.
