SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR BATTERIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18307912 titled 'SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR BATTERIES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes shipping containers for batteries, including a base with a cavity, a lid to seal the cavity, and an absorbent pad to absorb any leaked battery liquid.
- Base with a cavity for holding batteries
- Lid to seal the cavity and prevent leaks
- Absorbent pad inside the cavity to soak up any leaked battery liquid
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in the transportation and storage of batteries, especially in situations where leakage is a concern.
Problems Solved
This innovation addresses the issue of potential leaks from batteries during shipping or storage, reducing the risk of damage or contamination.
Benefits
- Increased safety during battery transportation - Protection against environmental contamination from leaked battery fluids - Enhanced peace of mind for users and handlers of batteries
Potential Commercial Applications
"Shipping Container for Batteries: Enhancing Safety and Security in Battery Transportation"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing solutions for containing leaked battery fluids during transportation or storage, but the specific design of this shipping container with an absorbent pad may be a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall cost of shipping batteries?
The article does not address the potential cost implications of implementing these shipping containers for batteries.
Are there any specific battery types or sizes that this container is designed for?
The article does not specify if the shipping container is tailored to certain battery types or sizes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Shipping containers for batteries are described herein. An example shipping container includes a base defining a cavity, a lid to be coupled to a top of the base to substantially seal the cavity, and an absorbent pad disposed within the cavity to absorb liquid from the battery if the battery leaks.
