Part 4 - Receiving
4.1 Inspection at Time of Delivery
Great care has been taken to pack the battery for shipment to ensure its safe arrival. As soon as you
receive the battery, check the packing material for evidence of damage in transit. If the packing material is
physically damaged or wet acid stains are present, make a notation on the delivery receipt
before you accept
the shipment/delivery.
NOTE:
Freight Carriers generally require that the carriers’
representative inspect concealed damage within 10 days
from date of delivery to determine responsibility.
The resolution of such claims may extend up to nine months.
Verify the number of cartons and skids against the bill of lading and verify their contents against the
packing lists. Keep a copy of the verified lists for your installation records. It is important to confirm that
the accessory package is present and the quantities are correct. If help is required, call C&D customer
service department to report any discrepancies.
