Optimising Battery Storage for Seamless Supply Chain Flow

Battery storage and warehousing are integral to the success of any battery supply chain, especially in industries relying on efficient energy storage solutions. We specialise in battery storage that keeps your assets in optimal condition, ready for use when needed. Whether it’s new battery cells and packs or spare batteries for backup, our state-of-the-art facilities ensure that your battery assets are stored safely, under temperature-controlled environments that prevent degradation. Picture below shows how we contribute to the lithium battery supply chain.

Specialist Battery Warehouse Storage at Our Facility

Our lithium battery warehouse solutions are designed to provide the highest levels of safety and security for all battery types, including new, used, and end-of-life lithium battery assets. We maintain precise temperature and humidity regulation to prevent deterioration and ensure the integrity of each battery. Our storage facilities are equipped with robust 24/7 security systems, including thermal detection cameras, surveillance, and controlled access, providing complete peace of mind.

Through our sister division Cellcycle, we offer a complete solution for end-of-life and waste battery assets. From the moment a battery enters our facility to the point it is prepared for recycling or disposal, we provide meticulous, compliant handling and storage solutions. This makes us a trusted partner for managing the entire lifecycle of lithium battery assets, from initial storage to final disposal.

High Voltage Engineering for Optimal Battery Health

Our role doesn’t end with providing safe storage. We understand that the integrity of lithium batteries is crucial, and we take additional measures to ensure your assets are always in peak condition. That’s why we’ve assembled a dedicated High Voltage Engineering team that conducts regular diagnostics and inspections of your battery assets while in storage. This proactive maintenance ensures that your batteries are always ready for instant deployment, free from any defects that might impair performance.

Compliant Battery Logistics

At Cellstorage, our logistics services are designed to handle lithium battery assets in any condition, from safe, fully operational batteries to more complex cases such as defective, prototype, and even damaged or critical batteries. With a fleet of ADR-certified drivers and vehicles, we ensure that every collection is managed with precision and adherence to safety standards, regardless of the battery’s state. Our in-house Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSAs) oversee each collection, guaranteeing full regulatory compliance and meticulous attention to detail, even for the most challenging battery types.

Beyond collection, we leverage our purpose-built battery distribution network to rapidly mobilise and transport clients’ assets across the country, efficiently delivering them to their final destination. For clients requiring immediate assistance due to health and safety concerns, we also offer a rapid response unit. This specialised service enables us to quickly retrieve battery assets in urgent situations, helping our clients resolve critical safety issues with confidence and efficiency.

Backup Solutions for Seamless Operation

At Cellstorage, we know that having reliable backup solutions is essential for businesses that rely on battery-powered applications. We not only store your primary battery assets but also offer storage for spare batteries, ensuring you’re covered in case of warranty replacements or unforeseen demand. Whether it’s ensuring consistent power supply or preparing for unexpected needs, our battery warehousing services provide you with peace of mind, knowing your spare assets are safely stored and easily accessible when required.

On-Site Engineering Support

Our battery engineering support and field services are led by a team of highly skilled high-voltage engineers and battery specialists. We provide comprehensive support for the commissioning and decommissioning of battery assets directly in the field, ensuring that each asset is safely integrated into or removed from its application. Our team is experienced in managing the complexities of battery removal and replacement, delivering seamless transitions and minimising downtime for our clients.

Our engineers can quickly assess, diagnose, and report on faults, helping clients restore their battery assets to optimal performance. Whether supporting assets in the field or in-house, our engineering services ensure clients have reliable, expert support throughout the entire lifecycle of their battery systems.

Battery Life-Cycle Management

At Cellstorage, our battery lifecycle management services ensure that your assets remain in peak condition throughout both long-term and short-term storage. We perform routine maintenance, including state of health and state of charge checks, to maintain optimal battery performance and prevent any risk of degradation.

Unlike other storage solutions in the UK, we are able to store not only operational batteries but also used, defective, and prototype assets awaiting redeployment.

For clients needing deeper insights into their end-of-life lithium battery assets, we offer comprehensive root cause analysis and failure mode analysis reports. Additionally, our team can dismantle and disassemble battery packs to facilitate material recovery. Through working with our sister division – Cellcycle, we provide a fully compliant lithium battery recycling and disposal solution for assets that have reached their final end-of-life (EOL). This sustainable option ensures that EOL assets are responsibly processed, meeting both environmental standards and client requirements.

ADR-Compliant Battery Collection and Distribution

We adhere strictly to ADR compliance (Accord Dangereux Routier), which governs the transport of dangerous goods, ensuring that all battery assets are safely collected, stored, and distributed. With our rigorous safety standards in place, you can be confident that your batteries are being handled in accordance with the highest industry regulations.

Conclusion: A Stronger, Safer Battery Supply Chain

As the lithium battery market continues to grow, ensuring a secure, efficient, and sustainable supply chain is more important than ever. At Cellstorage, we play a crucial role in fortifying this supply chain through our specialised services, from battery storage and warehousing to lifecycle management. By maintaining high standards of care, providing expert diagnostics, and ensuring safe handling and distribution, we help ensure that your battery assets are always ready for use, supporting a smooth and reliable flow through the entire supply chain.
