3.3 Concealed Damage
Within 15 days of receipt (or as soon as practical), unpack the cells and check for
concealed damage. Remember, you are handling a LIVE battery. Take
precautions against a shock hazard. Follow all safety precautions as noted in
Section 2.0.
Examine the electrolyte level to ensure that none has been spilled. If electrolyte has been lost in
transit and the level is less than 1/2 inch (12 mm) below the top of the plates, add Battery Grade
sulfuric acid electrolyte of the nominal operating specific gravity indicated on the cell nameplate,
and bring to the low level line on open circuit.
If the electrolyte level is more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) below the top of the plates, request an
inspection by a representative of the carrier and file a claim for concealed damage.
Check the received materials against the detailed packing list to verify receipt of all materials in
the quantities specified.
DELAY IN NOTIFYING THE CARRIER MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF YOUR RIGHT TO
REIMBURSEMENT FOR DAMAGES. Refer to the Bill of Lading, if, when performing the parts
inventory, you are unsure about the appearance of a part.
If you have questions concerning potential damages, contact your local EnerSys

sales/service
representative, or, call the corporate office number listed on the back of this manual and ask for
