Storage of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion battery containers and their use in commerce
The problem of how to properly store and dispose of lithium batteries has suddenly confronted many in the commercial sector who have not had to deal with such safety challenges so far. The bicycle dealer, for example, who is required to dispose of not only used e-bike batteries but also lithium batteries from all other devices - even if he does not offer them. The situation is similar with DIY stores and electrical stores.

Challenges of lithium-ion batteries in the trade sector
Your employees and/or customers handle lithium-ion batteries or electrical equipment containing lithium-ion batteries? Or do you even have a charging infrastructure for e-bikes, e.g. as a hotel or delivery service? With our battery protection boxes you ensure safe handling of batteries in your company.
Ignorance in handling
Many dealers are not sufficiently trained in handling lithium-ion batteries. If lithium batteries are damaged during transport, for example, or if they are not properly stored, they pose an increased risk. With our storage and transport system, handling lithium-ion batteries is child's play.
A clutter of defective batteries
More and more dealers are facing the challenge of storing or transporting defective equipment with potentially critical lithium-ion batteries. In particular, where defective lithium-ion batteries have to be replaced or dealers are confronted with the obligation to take back old electrical equipment, the risk of danger is high. In our RETRON containers you can store several lithium-ion batteries at the same time.
Frequent charging of lithium batteries = higher risk
In commercial use, devices with lithium-ion batteries are normally used intensively, which leads to frequent charging cycles of the batteries. For example, when renting e-scooters or e-bikes, or for delivery services that use e-vehicles. Every charging process involves a certain risk, especially if it is not properly monitored. In our RETRON containers, you can charge lithium-ion batteries safely and with confidence.
Safely store and transport discarded devices with lithium accumulators and batteries in the trade sector
The obligation to take back electrical and electronic equipment under the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) poses new challenges for the trade. Whether you need a safety container for smaller quantities of electrical appliances or are planning a larger collection station for more extensive returns, we advise you on optimal logistics and disposal of defective, old or end-of-life batteries.
"Thanks to RETRON, we finally have an optimized logistics concept for the safe handling and transport of electrical appliances with lithium batteries in our stores. Especially the new electrical law has presented us with new challenges here."

Safe storage of lithium batteries in the trade: application example
In this typical practical example, a company that is obligated to take back defective electrical appliances has several branches. The individual branches do not produce such large quantities of defective lithium-ion batteries so that a larger RETRON container is needed. In addition, the flexible and safe storage of lithium-ion batteries should be possible on several floors.
The solution: Each branch receives flexible fire protection, our RETRON BOX. This can be conveniently used at any time and at any location and defective lithium-ion batteries can be immediately sealed in it. At the company headquarters, a RETRON container is set up as a central collection point, where the lithium batteries and accumulators from the RETRON BOXES can be safely stored. The transport of the lithium-ion batteries from the branch offices to the central office is legally compliant and safe due to UN and ADR approval of the RETRON BOX. At the headquarters RETRON finally takes care of the collection and proper disposal of your central collection container with lithium-ion batteries. Sounds simple? It is with RETRON.
