Sealed Motorcycle Battery Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Drilled and Slotted
Sealed Motorcycle Battery Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for sealed motorcycle battery in a drilled and slotted 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 drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on scooter fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.

Example specification
| Item | Sealed Motorcycle Battery |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | Drilled and Slotted |
| Base material | EPDM Rubber |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — EPDM Rubber, 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
- shot blasting
- assembly line testing
- rubber vulcanisation
- ultrasonic cleaning
- sintering
- precision stamping
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include aftermarket retail, rental motorcycles, racing teams, emergency vehicles, construction equipment.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 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
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the REACH-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
