Lithium Battery Guide
Each distinct shipping guide in this document refers to the regulatory requirements for a specific lithium cell/ battery type, configuration, and size. In this way, a shipper will easily find the
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) containers are critical components in today's energy infrastructure. As more power grids incorporate renewable energy, the role of BESS in balancing power supply and demand has become increasingly important.
The energy capacity of a standard BESS container varies based on battery type, voltage, and configuration. TLS Energy commonly offers BESS containers ranging from 1 MWh to over 6 MWh per 20-foot.
For example, a 2 MWh BESS container can deliver 1 MW of power continuously for 2 hours, or 0.5 MW for 4 hours. In energy storage, power (measured in kW or MW) refers to the rate at which energy is delivered, while energy is the total amount of electricity stored.
• Each outer package must be a strong outer packaging and capable of withstanding a 1.2 meter drop test, in any orientation, without damage to the cells or batteries, without shifting that would allow battery-to-battery contact, and without release of the contents. They are not required to be packaged in UN specification packaging.
