Remove the cells and any accessories from the packaging. (Check that contents are correct to order and inspect for any damage in iransit. Damage must be reported immeciately tothe Carrier, and the Company or its Agent Ifbatteries are not put into service immediately they should be stored in a clean, dry, ‘cool and well ventilated store on open shelves. Plastic cells should not be exposed to rect sunlight Bofore storage ensure that: (@) Cells are kept clean with adequate protective finish such as Komoline on glands, ‘and connectors and on steel cell tops.

NOTE: IF EXCESSIVE LOSS OF ELECTROLYTE IN TRANSIT IS FOUND IN CELLS SUPPLIED DISCHARGED AND FILLED, THE CELLS MUST BE CORRECTLY FILLED BEFORE STORAGE BY FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IN SECTION 23. I storage in the delvery cases is necessary then the tops ofthe cases must be removed. I storage in stacked delivery cases is necessary, then strong battens should be placed across the open top of each case inthe stack. The battens should run transverse to the feet on the cases, but ocate.on the solid feet at the comers to give adequate ventiation. Calls ‘filed and discharged’ or ‘iled and paially charged’ can be stored for up to a ‘maximum of one year. The cells should be sealed with the frmiy fing transit vent plugs supplied with the cals. Check the plugs upon receipt. for unavoidable reasons falls have to be stored for more than one year they must be given a maintenance cytle as follows. Remove plugs from calls, charge to 200% of capacity at an available Fate (Ci5 for 10 hours of C/10 for 20 hours) and then discharge atthe same rate to 1.1 \Voks per cell. Replace plugs firmly and retum the callstbattenies to store. Repeat every 12 months, For batteries stored for more than 12 months, atleast two chargelcischarge cycles as above are recommended befcre putting into service. CColls discharged and empty can be stored for an indefinite period. Itis important that they are sealed withthe fmt iting transit vent plugs supplied with the cols and these should be checked periodically during storage. ‘Allcelis ater storage must be prepared for service and fully commissioned {(s08 Section 4) Betore starting preparation, read and implement the Safety Instructions.
