Safe & reliable solutions for battery transportation.

Regardless of battery size or industry: LogBATT, a Lagermax Group company, has the right solution for you across the entire battery supply chain.

We live by the highest standards for hazardous materials transport containers for critically defective lithium batteries, in accordance with the latest hazardous materials regulations of ADR P911/LP 906, including permits for the collection, transport, and brokerage of hazardous waste in waste management and recycling logistics.

Why Lithium-Ion Batteries are hazardous materials.

Lithium-ion batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods under ADR (UN 3480, UN 3481, UN 3090, UN 3091). Even minor mechanical damage, deep discharge, or an internal short circuit can trigger what is known as thermal runaway—a self-sustaining exothermic reaction that produces large amounts of toxic fumes and can cause the cell pressure to rise to the point of explosion.

The time delay is critical: A battery that appears externally stable after an accident or fall may react hours or days later. For this reason, hazardous materials regulations require type-approved packaging for damaged and critically defective batteries that can contain a thermal runaway in a single cell. LogBATT GmbH handles such shipments throughout Europe.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Battery Logistics.

Damaged and critically defective lithium-ion batteries may only be transported by hazardous materials logistics providers with the appropriate certification and exclusively in type-approved containers.

The applicable regulations are ADR packing instructions P908 and P911, as well as large packaging instructions LP904 and LP906. LogBATT GmbH, the battery logistics company of the Lagermax Group, carries out such shipments throughout Europe.

Packaging instruction P911 applies to critically defective lithium-ion batteries, and LP906 applies to large packages. Both require type-tested, officially approved packaging capable of containing a thermal runaway in a single cell. LogBATT GmbH’s dangerous goods containers are BAM-tested and approved for this purpose.

In Germany, the disposal of lithium-ion battery waste requires certification as a specialized waste management company in accordance with Section 56 of the Closed-Loop Economy Act, supplemented by a permit to collect, transport, and broker hazardous waste.

LogBATT GmbH is a certified specialized waste management company and holds these permits for waste codes AVV 16 06 05 and AVV 16 01 21.

LogBATT GmbH transports lithium-ion batteries throughout Europe. Its partner network includes, among others, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Hungary, and Poland.

Through the Lagermax Group’s network of locations, there are additional connections in Austria as well as in Central and Eastern European markets.
