For the purposes of this document, the ways to describe and configure packages of lithium cells and batteries, including smaller cells and batteries, are divided between ten distinct, standalone shipping guides. The shipping guides are numbered Guide 01 - Guide 10.
The use of lithium-ion batteries for large energy applications is still relatively new, especially in the marine and offshore industries. ABS has produced this document to provide requirements and reference standards to facilitate effective installation and operation of lithium-ion battery systems. for marine systems.
The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines that have just been published seek to prevent the increasing risks that the transport of lithium-ion batteries by sea creates, providing suggestions for identifying such risks and thereby helping to ensure a safer supply chain in the future.
Revised Packing Instructions: More stringent requirements for UN-certified packaging, capable of withstanding specific drop tests. State of Charge (SoC) Emphasis: Increased scrutiny on the SoC for standalone lithium-ion battery shipments, with a general requirement not to exceed 30% of rated capacity.
