Maintenance Free Car Battery Specification Example for Trailer Axles: All-Weather Version
Maintenance Free Car Battery Specification Example for Trailer Axles: All-Weather Version
This is a worked specification for maintenance free car battery in a all-weather version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The all-weather version version exists because the duty cycle on trailer axles is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — PVC Coated Fabric, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- assembly line testing
- anodising
- CNC machining
- ultrasonic cleaning
- sintering
- robot welding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run all-weather version most often specify this build for trailer axles. Related applications include aftermarket retail, boat trailers, trailer axles, workshop replacements, assembly programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO/TS 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
