Since storage equipment has lithium-ion battery inside, so most people assume the PSN shall be Lithium-ion batteries contained in equipment and the UN number shall be UN3481. However, with the development of lithium battery energy storage, more and more energy storage devices are being developed and applied.
For US3481, only lithium batteries can be loaded in containers because refrigerants in air conditioners are Class 2.1 or 2.2 dangerous goods and fire extinguishers in fire protection systems are Class 2 dangerous goods.
While BESS technology is designed to bolster grid reliability, lithium battery fires at some installations have raised legitimate safety concerns in many communities. BESS incidents can present unique challenges for host communities and first responders:
