Sealed Motorcycle Battery Specification Example for Aftermarket Retail: Fixed Type
Sealed Motorcycle Battery Specification Example for Aftermarket Retail: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for sealed motorcycle battery in a fixed type 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 fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on aftermarket retail 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.

Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for aftermarket retail. Related applications include off-road bikes, racing teams, aftermarket retail, city buses, delivery vans.
Checks before packing

- 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 is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ECE R90 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
