Prior to transportation,
1. During the transportation of a large amount of batteries by ship, trailer or railway, do not leave them
in the places of high temperatures and do not allow them to be exposed to dew condensation.
2. Avoid transportation with the possibility of the collapse of cargo piles and the packing damage.
3. Protect the terminals of batteries and prevent them from short circuit so as not to cause dangerous
heat generation.
