Understanding Battery Storage Containers
As electric vehicles (EVs) and energy-efficient appliances become more common, battery storage and testing are critical to ensuring safety, performance, and longevity. High-capacity lithium-ion batteries, used in EVs and modern electronics, must be stored in controlled environments to prevent degradation and safety risks.
Regular battery testing – including checks on charge cycles, voltage, and capacity – helps identify issues early, improve battery life, and ensure compliance with safety standards. For manufacturers, businesses, and consumers, understanding how to store and test batteries is key to supporting the shift to sustainable, electric power.
By prioritising fire-rated battery storage solutions and rigorous testing practices, we can meet the growing demand for clean energy with confidence and reliability.

Case Studies
When Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) needed a conversions partner to supply a range of shipping containers for the storage and testing of new electric vehicle battery products, they turned to our conversions experts. As part of its role in scaling up the UK’s domestic battery supply, WMG is focused on testing and evaluating innovative battery materials to ensure their safety and suitability for use in future generations of automotive vehicles.
Each year, engineering students from across Cardiff University take part in the Formula Student (FSUK) competition, where teams design, build and race a single-seater car. Cardiff Racing, the university’s team and the first British winners of FSUK in 2017, recently made the move to electric vehicles. To support this transition, they approached S Jones Containers to create a secure on-campus solution for storing and charging their batteries.
