Erecting the Battery Transport & Storage (BTS) Container
This video shows how to erect the BTS container from the collapsed (flat pack) position into the front load (A frame) configuration. Note it is very important that the latches are used to secure the front / top panel A Frame assembly to ensure the panels can’t blow over.
How to Safely Stack Batteries into the BTS Container
This video demonstrates how to safely stack used batteries into the BTS Container and includes important safety messages to reduce their fire risk.
If a used battery contains sufficient residual charge, there is a risk of a short circuit that can result in a fire. The conditions for a short circuit can be created if a conductive material forms a connection between a battery’s positive & negative terminal.
For this reason our container’s signage warns against placing metal objects in the container. This includes any steel case batteries or batteries included in metal equipment. Steel Case batteries and batteries contained in equipment cannot be included in our BTS Containers. The good news is we still accept these however they must be prepared and shipped separately. For further instructions and suggestions on how you can prepare these for shipment please refer to our Shipping Steel Case Batteries page.
Using the BTS Container Outdoors
If your Battery Rescue Container is installed outdoors we recommend that you keep the pallet closed to prevent the 25 litre bunded base filling with water when it rains. This video demonstrates how to safely open and close the Container.
