FGVA PCK0 - BATTEST - INVESTIGATION ON THE VALIDATION FOR THE SAFE TRANSPORTATION OF ELECTRICAL BATTERIES (VIBRATIONS AND SHOCKS)




DESCRIPTION

Currently and due to the restrictions in the commercialization of combustion vehicles, the transition to electric vehicles is being carried out. To do this, it must be validated that the elements that store energy meet the demanding automotive requirements at the level of their transport.

With this project we address the need to investigate the validation parameters for the safe transport of electric batteries.
In addition, we will investigate the necessary aspects to be fulfilled by the battery packaging systems, so that they are able to minimize the risks inherent to the products they must contain.

OBJECTIVES

- Establish a classification of the requirements to be able to validate the safe transport of electric batteries for use in vehicles.

- Establish the requirements to be met by the packaging of electric batteries.

- Establish the appropriate packaging and handling recommendations for electric batteries.

Project Number: 22300009
Grant Agreement: IMAMCA/2023/2
Duration: From 01/01/2023 to 31/12/2023

Coordinated in AIDIMME by: BOSCA TARIN, JAIME FRANCISCO
R&D Line: PACKAGING SYSTEMS


RESULTS OBTAINED

Year 2023: With the accelerated growth of electric mobility, lithium batteries have become the backbone of the automotive revolution. However, the safety in the handling, storage and transportation of these batteries, which power electric vehicles and many portable devices, is of utmost importance.
The packaging system must be safe for the transport of lithium batteries, being a crucial element due to the characteristics of the batteries and the associated risks.

For transport, lithium batteries must be insulated and protected against short circuits. Materials and separators are used to avoid contacts that could trigger failures. Impact and vibration resistance, as well as the robustness of the packaging, are essential to prevent physical damage that could trigger battery problems. In addition, the packaging must prevent the battery from leaving the packaging itself in the event of an incident, which could create an accident or major damage.

Clear labeling is crucial, including information on battery type, capacity, precautions and emergency contact details. Complying with transportation regulations is essential, since these vary depending on the mode of transportation and seek to guarantee safety. Impact and vibration tests are necessary to evaluate the strength of the packaging, and staff must be trained on risks and safety measures.

Detailed battery documentation, including technical specifications and safe use instructions, is essential. Collaboration between manufacturers, regulators and shippers is key to establishing standards and practices that mitigate the potential dangers associated with these batteries.

In summary, safe packaging for lithium batteries involves establishing and taking measures such as: insulation, short circuit protection, fire resistance, clear labeling, compliance with transport regulations, impact and vibration testing, staff training and detailed documentation.
