School uses 120-foot folding shipping container to compare batteries

What makes shipping containers ideal for battery storage?

A converted shipping container lends itself perfectly to the storage of batteries that need to fulfil certain criteria. Many batteries are transported around the world in our units, so they seem to be also the ideal solution for their storage.

What is a containerized battery energy storage system?

Let’s dive in! What are containerized BESS? Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required. This setup offers a modular and scalable solution to energy storage.

What is the risk of not using the right container for battery storage?

Not using the right container for battery storage can lead to short circuits, and, therefore, explosion or fire. Getting the right container is essential in terms of keeping the battery in good condition and, perhaps, more importantly, reducing these risks.

What safety features do lithium battery storage containers have?

Our lithium battery storage containers have safety systems built into their design to monitor the environment within, signal an alarm prior to critical failure, reduce the risk of injury in the event of explosion or fire and also provide environmental containment.
