    OCV test

    This control is automatic and with a 100% frequency OCV compared with minimum and

    maximum voltage thresholds. The thresholds are set in order to ensure the batteries to respect the

    Renault delivery conditions.

    100 % of all the OCV values shall be recorded.

    HRD test

    The control is automatic and with a 100% frequency.

    The test shall be performed at constant current (F1).

    The minimum discharge current is defined as follows:

    Discharge Current: 0,6 Icc I HRD Icc

    The min voltage shall be defined

    The maximum discharge capacity during HRD test mustnt represent more than 1% of the

    nominal capacity.

    100 % of all the values shall be recorded

    Labelling

    The reference and label location on the batteries shall be defined within a drawing or

    specification. The label position shall be defined with tolerances.

    Final control before palletization

    The inspection of the plugs, labels and magic eye is performed by a video camera.

    All batteries shall be inspected on 100% basis (visual).

    Final control after palletization

    A final inspection shall be performed on each pallet (visual and electrical). A specific check list

    shall be used according to the control plan.

    Final storage

    The batteries shall be stored inside in order to protect them against dust, sun, rain and extreme

    temperature.
