Transport
Batteries must be packed, marked and conveyed in accordance with the applicable
transport regulations (ADR, IMDG Code, IATA). The cells of the battery should be protected
against short-circuiting, sliding, falling over or damage and are to be secured to pallets by
suitable means. There should be no dangerous traces of lye on the outside of the packages.
Any special national regulations are to be observed.
Following receipt and inspection of batteries, the battery cells should be replaced in their
original packing. This provides the battery with good protection against damage while it is in
storage prior to installation.
DANGER!
Damage to the battery housing can lead to spilling of electrolyte, resulting in chemical burns.
Secure the load carefully during transport to prevent the battery housing from becoming
damaged.
CAUTION!
The batteries are very heavy and can cause injuries and be damaged if they fall.
Use safety boots.
Use suitable equipment for transport.
Observe and follow the regulations for the transport of batteries, which are provided in the
following sections.
