BLUESHAPE BX5 5-Battery UN Certified Impact Resistant IP67 Lithium-Ion Battery Transport Case

BLUESHAPE BX5 5-Battery UN Certified Impact Resistant IP67 Lithium-Ion Battery Transport Case

The BLUESHAPE BX5 5-Battery UN Certified Lithium-Ion Battery Transport Case is a dedicated solution for helping users ship their video camera batteries based on the guidelines of the UN transport regulations for carrying lithium-ion batteries. This case has been certified by an internationally accredited laboratory and 5 units of smaller and medium-sized models with airlines and couriers accepting batteries under PI965 1B and PI965 1A like BV090, BV100HD, BV100HD SPLASH, BV150, and BV180.

Multiple Test

A sample of this case has undergone various tests, conducted by the commissioned certifying body and their certification imposes terms and conditions in the usage of such cases for carrying Li-Ion batteries in this manner that need to be applied and respected. Mixed models can be included together in the same case. In such an event, the battery pack with the highest capacity determines the packing instructions to apply.

Case Properties

The cases are made from a special compound based on, but even stronger than polypropylene the resin normally used for these types of cases. Apart from enhanced robustness, the case is even lighter than normal. The case walls are thinner and more elastic and this makes them more shockproof and impact resistant. All cases are chemical resistant (including acids), scratchproof, and capable of resisting extreme weather and temperature conditions. These cases are tested in temperatures ranging from -40-degree-C to 800-degree-C. They are also IP67 rated.

Internal Foam

The internal foam used internally is made of special fire-retardant material and shaped to accommodate 5 BLUESHAPE batteries. The batteries fit tightly and securely inside but at the same time, the cushioning is sufficiently soft to enable quick insertion and removal without risks of scratching the batteries.

Purge Valve

The purge valve fitted in these cases is an auto press release valve located underneath the case handle that adjusts to changing temperatures automatically. Made from Hydrophobic Acrylic ePTPE, it permits air exchanges at a rate, at least 6 times faster than competition whilst retaining the IP67 rating. Moreover, by design, the valve cannot unscrew itself and get lost.

Latch and Pressure Release Valve Procedures

Your BX5 case is equipped with a watertight 2-step latch and an O-ring system to protect the batteries in the most extreme weather conditions. Changes in atmospheric pressure during travel will create a vacuum-tight seal between the lid and the body of the case. The purge valve automatically adjusts or releases pressure according to environmental conditions. The case has 2 latches.

Case Labels and Markings

Proper marking is the key to a successful shipment. All stickers and markings are mandatory and specified by international regulations. They must be displayed on the same side of the case without overlapping.
