What are the regulations for the location of flow batteries in communication base stations?
📌

Can a manufacturer supply a flow battery?

Manufacturers may supply from a standard product range, or supply customised or bespoke Systems. Users of this CWA are advised to consult up-to-date references for details of each type of Flow Battery. NOTE The definition of a Flow Battery is given in Section 3.34 of this CWA.

📌

What are the risks associated with battery transport?

One of the major risks associated with the transport of batteries and battery-powered equipment is short-circuit of the battery as a result of the battery terminals coming into contact with other batteries, metal objects, or conductive surfaces.

📌

What should be a minimum charge level before packing a battery?

Prior to becoming mandatory on 1 January , it is strongly encouraged that the state of charge of the batteries be reduced to below 30% SoC (or 25% indicated battery capacity) before packing. Part F – Questions related to Marking and Labelling

📌

What should a battery room/chamber have?

The standard points out that the battery room/chamber should be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system, which is linked with the battery management system (BMS), fire detector or flammable gas detection device, air conditioner, and exhaust system, and has the functions of remote passive command start and emergency mechanical start.

📌

How are flow batteries assembled?

These systems may be assembled from individual components listed in 3.34 or from sub-assemblies such as skid mounted modules complete with associated pipes, pumps, valves and sensors. There are a number of different types of Flow Batteries, using different electrochemistries and layouts.

📌

Can a sodium ion battery be transported under state approval?

All cells and batteries must be tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III Subsection 38.3 (DGR 3.9.2.6) Passed UN Test? No May only be transported under State Approval as per Special Provision A88 Yes Sodium Ion Batteries (limited to a maximum of 30% SoC) Sodium Ion Batteries Packed with Equipment
