Division 04
Automotive, Stationary & Lithium Storage Batteries
Automotive workshops and parts traders on one side; telecom, solar, UPS and standby power operators on the other. The fears differ but rhyme: shelf-aged stock sold as new, a capacity printed on a label that the cells never had, and no replacement available when a bank fails in the middle of a season.
Manufacture dates are declared on every battery order, so you know what you are buying and how long it sat before it reached you. Capacity ratings come from the manufacturer test method, stated in the quotation. Replenishment is planned per line rather than per order.
Automotive and stationary batteries and storage systems, supplied with manufacture dates, stated capacity ratings, and continuity of supply — so the replacement bank is available the season after the first one, not only on the day you sign.
The manufacture date is declared per batch on the packing list and checkable on the battery itself. Batteries age on a shelf whether or not anyone sells them, and you are entitled to know how much of that life was spent before delivery.

- 01Manufacture date policy
- The manufacture date is declared per batch on the packing list and checkable on the battery itself. Batteries age on a shelf whether or not anyone sells them, and you are entitled to know how much of that life was spent before delivery.
- 02Capacity test method
- The rating we quote, the standard it was measured against, and the discharge rate it applies at. A capacity number without a test method behind it is a printed number, nothing more.
- 03Replenishment commitment
- For lines we hold, what we hold and how quickly it is restocked. For lines we order in, the honest lead time. A battery supplier is only useful across seasons, so we would rather quote a long lead time than a convenient one.
