As a professional emergency lighting product manufacturer, Phenix Lighting recognizes the importance of battery management. To ensure that batteries are free from secondary damage before delivery to customers, Phenix Lighting has established a strict battery management system, including regulations related to battery storage and transportation.
Firstly, Phenix Lighting sets stringent requirements for battery warehouse conditions. The warehouse must maintain cleanliness, good ventilation, and be isolated from other materials. Environmental temperature should be kept within the range of 0°C to 35°C, with humidity between 40% to 80%. This is to maximize the protection of battery performance and lifespan.
Phenix Lighting meticulously manages the inventory of all batteries, recording the initial storage time, last aging time, and expiration dates. Every six months, a complete charge and discharge test is conducted on the stocked batteries. Batteries that pass the quality test are recharged to 50% capacity before continued storage. Batteries found with insufficient discharge time during testing are considered defective and discarded. Batteries stored for more than three years will no longer be used for bulk shipments. Those with storage times exceeding three years, but still meeting shipment standards, are only used for internal testing purposes. After five years of storage, batteries are unconditionally discarded.
Throughout production and internal handling processes, Phenix Lighting imposes strict operational standards for battery safety. Battery dropping, collisions, compressions, and other strong external impacts are prohibited during handling, production assembly, testing, and aging. Puncturing, striking, or stepping on batteries with sharp objects is also forbidden. Batteries must not be used in environments with strong static electricity, strong magnetic fields, or strong lightning. Furthermore, batteries should not come into direct contact with metals or be exposed to high temperatures, flames, water, saltwater, or other liquids. Once battery packs are damaged, they must not be continued in use.
During the shipment of batteries, Phenix Lighting enforces specific requirements for safety testing, packaging, and labeling. Firstly, batteries must pass MSDS testing, UN38.3 (Lithium) and DGM testing. For emergency products containing batteries, the packaging must withstand the impact of transportation forces. For products with external batteries, each battery group must have independent packaging, and the battery pack’s ports should remain disconnected from the emergency module. Additionally, for emergency products containing different types of batteries, the appropriate battery labels and warning labels must be applied to distinguish them according to the testing reports.
For example, in the case of emergency controllers with lithium batteries, for air transport orders, the outer box must bear the “UN3481″ warning label.
In conclusion, Phenix Lighting maintains strict requirements for battery management, from warehouse environments to quality control, as well as safety usage and shipping requirements. Each aspect is detailed and regulated to ensure product quality and user safety. These stringent measures not only demonstrate Phenix Lighting’s commitment to quality but also reflect their care for customers. As a professional lighting product manufacturer, Phenix Lighting will continue its unwavering efforts to provide customers with higher quality and safer products and services.
