2.0 RECEIVING OF STATIONARY BATTERIES
Every precaution has been made in packaging the batteries for shipment to assure their
safe arrival. IMMEDIATELY upon delivery (while carrier delivering the shipment is still on
site) please check the packaging materials for evidence of damage in transit and the Bill
of Lading to assure all parts are being delivered, including the accessories.
2.1 VISIBLE EXTERNAL DAMAGE
•
Wet acid stains may indicate leakage of the gel electrolyte due to a damaged/cracked
jar on the cells
•
Crushed “Do Not Stack” cones or damaged boxes could be evidence of rough
handling during transit and damage to cells.
If any of the above are observed, make a note of it on the bill of lading before signing.
NOTE: Shipping damage must be handled with the carrier -- not BAE Batteries USA
2.2 CONCEALED DAMAGE
It is recommended that the cells be unpacked and checked for concealed damage as
soon as possible. Freight carriers generally require that concealed damage be inspected
by the carrier’s representative within 10 days from date of delivery to determine
responsibility.
It is the receiving facility’s responsibility to notify the freight carrier of concealed damage.
If cells need to be unpacked, see Section 4.0
2.3 ACCESSORIES
If possible, upon receiving the battery systems, check the accessory packages against
the included packing list for contents making certain that all the parts ordered with your
system are included.
3.0 STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
BAE Batteries USA supplies Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries in a fully charged, ready
to use state.
Packaging depends on transit routes (domestic or export) and varies from simple shrink
wrapping on a pallet to seaworthy crating for export or special request.
Store batteries indoors in a clean, dry and cool location.
DO NOT stack pallets. Damage may occur and the warranty will be voided.
Valve-regulated lead acid batteries must not be topped up with water through their entire
life. The valves must not be opened because the access to oxygen in the air discharges
the cells.
