Starting January 1\, 2027\, UK-flagged yachts must charge and store lithium batteries over 100 Wh in certified fire-resistant containers. UK Type Approval by a UK Nominated Body is also required by that date. \nDoes ABYC E-13 require fire-resistant lithium battery storage on U.S. yachts?\nABYC E-13 covers lithium-ion batteries on boats. It is voluntary in the United States and does not yet set a standard for fire-resistant storage containers. USCG requirements for commercial vessels are already in force. Regulatory experts from HazMat Safety Consulting\, an Americase International Company\, help owners map ABYC E-13\, USCG\, and MGN 681 requirements to their specific install. \nWhat lithium battery containment does Americase International offer for yachts?\nAmericase\, an Americase International Company\, engineers fire-resistant charging and storage containment built to MGN 681\, ABYC E-13\, and USCG requirements. Options include passive insulated steel enclosures\, heavy-duty aluminum containment\, and more. Each is available with monitoring and suppression and configured to the specific yacht. \nWhat is the Battery Super Box?\nThe Battery Super Box is a reusable\, heavy-duty containment and shipping case. It’s rated for batteries up to 5\,700 Wh / 399.9 kg and built to contain thermal runaway. Automotive OEMs use it to transport damaged\, defective\, and recalled lithium cells. \nAre Americase containers tested?\nYes. Americase\, an Americase International Company\, tests its containment in-house through its sister company\, Fulcrum Testing\, to prove performance against thermal runaway.
