As a major producer and exporter of lithium batteries, China's export volume has achieved significant growth in recent years. However, it is worth noting that lithium batteries face high safety risks during maritime transportation, which are manifested in possible fires, smoke and even explosions.

Once these accidents occur, they may not only trigger a chain reaction quickly, but also bring irreparable serious consequences and huge economic losses. Therefore, to ensure the safety of lithium battery shipping is particularly important, we must give full attention and prevention.
