Safety Instructions 

2.1

 

Proper intended use 

The transport container is used for transporting and storing lithium-ion and lithium-metal cells 
and batteries. The transport container shall be used only in an undamaged and unmodified 
condition. The integrity of the transport container shall be checked before each use.

 

2.2

 

Hazard potential of lithium ion cells and batteries 

With today's manufacturing standards, it can be assumed that lithium-ion cells and batteries, 
when properly used and handled, are safe. However, damage can lead to an irreversible, de-
structive reaction, a so-called thermal runaway. Such damage could be, for example:

 

 

mechanical damage

 

 

heat stress

 

 

overcharging

 

 

outer short circuit

 

 

total discharge

 

 

ageing (dendrite formation)

 

Such damage can cause the cell to heat up, resulting in a decomposition reaction of cell com-
ponents. This decomposition reaction in turn leads to further heating, which then causes the 
decomposition  process  to  accelerate  uncontrollably.  These  reactions  also  lead  to  the  for-
mation of large quantities of toxic and flammable gases, which in interaction with the high 
temperatures of the cell can lead to severe fire events. This intense release of heat can conse-
quently cause thermal runaway in the adjacent cells, so that under certain circumstances the 
entire battery reacts.

 

The escaping gases include carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H

2

), carbon dioxide (CO

2

) and 

oxygen (O

2

). It is also possible that hydrogen fluoride (HF) escapes, which can react with the 

air humidity to form hydrofluoric acid. If the escaping reaction gas does not ignite, it can mix 
with the air oxygen to form an explosive atmosphere. 

 

Due to the high hazard potential ensuing from damage that may not always be visible from the 
outside,  we  recommend  that  returned  batteries  should  always  be  stored  in  corresponding 
safety containers.
