Unpacking and Handling
Guidelines • Protect personnel and equipment by using the proper material
handling equipment.
• Move packaged batteries to a convenient predetermined area where
the appropriate unpacking and handling equipment and tools are
available.
• If possible, inspect each cell package visually for shipping damage
before it is completely unpacked. If it is determined that the cell
should be returned to the manufacturer, it will be easier to return it at
this point than after the cell has been completely unpacked.
• Note the charge-by date on the shipping container.

Step Action
1
Examine the shipping container and record any signs of
external damage.
2
Search for indications of spillage during shipment. If found,
record indications on the bill of lading before signing.

lime on the spillage and allow it to absorb the electrolyte.

using lime on electrolyte spills. Wash hands and face
thoroughly after use.

dispose of it in accordance with local, state, and federal
regulations.
Note: The absorbed electrolyte is considered to be Hazardous
Waste and must be disposed of according to local, state, and
federal regulations.
