As the UK moves towards net zero, demand for battery storage solutions has grown rapidly. Lithium-ion batteries are now at the heart of everyday life – powering mobile phones, cordless tools, electric vehicles (EVs), and large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) that balance renewable energy on the grid.
However, the same high energy density that makes lithium-ion batteries so useful also makes them hazardous if stored incorrectly. Risks include fire, explosion, and the release of toxic gases. In recent years, high-profile incidents have highlighted the importance of managing these risks effectively.
At S Jones Containers, we provide customised shipping container conversions for safe lithium-ion battery storage. Our solutions are engineered to reduce risks, protect staff and assets, and help businesses meet their legal duties under UK health, safety, and fire regulations.
Unlike other hazardous substances, there is currently no single piece of UK legislation that sets out how lithium-ion batteries must be stored. This lack of a dedicated “battery storage law” creates uncertainty.
Instead, businesses must manage battery risks under a combination of existing regulatory frameworks, including:
What this means in practice: businesses are legally required to assess the risks of battery storage and take reasonable precautions. Failing to do so could lead to breaches of fire safety, health and safety, or environmental laws.
Lithium-ion batteries can experience “thermal runaway” – an internal short circuit that rapidly releases heat, potentially causing fire or explosion. If stored in unsuitable conditions, the risks increase dramatically. Consequences include:
Safe, controlled storage is therefore both a legal duty and a business-critical safeguard.
Our specialist battery storage units are designed to support businesses in meeting these duties by providing a controlled, compliant storage environment. Features include:
By combining these measures, our containers provide a safe and practical solution for businesses handling batteries.
Converted shipping containers are an ideal platform for battery storage. They are robust, modular, and easily customised to meet specific safety requirements. Advantages include:
This flexibility makes containerised storage an attractive option for industries with evolving requirements.
Our battery storage solutions are trusted by a wide range of industries, including:
In each case, the priority is the same: mitigating risks, ensuring compliance, and protecting people, property, and the environment.
With decades of experience in container conversions, S Jones Containers is uniquely placed to deliver bespoke battery storage containers that meet your operational needs while supporting compliance.
Working with us gives you:
We help you translate complex regulations and risks into practical, safe storage solutions.
If your business handles or stores lithium-ion batteries, safe storage is not optional. While the UK lacks a single “battery storage law,” businesses are still legally required to manage the risks under existing health, safety, fire, and environmental regulations.
Our team of specialists can help you design and implement a compliant, future-proof battery storage solution tailored to your needs.
