2. Delivery and Storage

2.1 Receiving and Inspection

• Inspect for missing components.

• Check against the shipping/packing documents.

• Inspect each package or pallet for integrity and electrolyte leakage.

• Record receipt date and inspection data results, and notify your servicing dealer of any damage. Take photographs if

necessary.

2.2 Storage

• Store in a dry, clean, ventilated, cool and frost-free location.

• Do not expose to direct sunlight as damage to the container and cover may occur.

• Do not stack pallets on top of each other and on sharp-edged supports.

• Storage on a pallet and wrapped in plastic material (shrink wrap) is permitted except when room temperature fluctuates

significantly, or when high relative humidity can cause condensation under the plastic. Condensation can cause a whitish

hydration on the terminals to form and result in current leakage and self-discharge.

• Protect against any risk of electric shock from short- circuiting poles/terminals with conductive objects or from the buildup

of conductive dust.

• Maintain the same storage conditions for all batteries within the same batch. Depending upon storage conditions and

temperature, storage time may be limited.

• If lead acid batteries are to be stored for extended periods of time, they must be placed fully charged.

• To prevent over discharge during storage, do not store batteries for more than 6 months at 20°C/68°F or 3 months at

30°C/86°F before performing a re-fresh charge. Failure to observe these conditions may result in significantly reduced

capacity and service life

• Record dates and conditions for all charges during storage.
