01Map the complete power configuration
Record speaker hardware and firmware, cell maker and model, pack assembler and model, cell count and arrangement, nominal values, protection board, connector, wiring, charging circuit and supplied cable or adapter. Use photographs and controlled specifications; never identify a cell only by color or capacity.
02Inventory source documents
List specifications, drawings, declarations, safety reports, transport reports, UN 38.3 test summary and other destination-market evidence. Record issuer, client, item identity, report number, issue date, revision and complete page count. Request originals or issuer-verifiable copies when reliance matters.
03Match the UN 38.3 summary
Check that the summary identifies the cell or battery and the tested article relevant to production. Review manufacturer and laboratory contact information, report reference, test date, physical description and recorded test outcomes as required by the applicable framework. Ask a dangerous-goods specialist to resolve ambiguity.
04Check pack and speaker integration
Confirm the documented battery is installed with the approved protection, wiring, connector, enclosure and charging controls. Record changes in cell source, pack assembler, component values, firmware or mechanical constraints. A valid record for a loose cell may not cover a materially different assembled configuration.
05Review claims and charging information
Match capacity, voltage, charging input, charge time and runtime statements to controlled evidence and defined methods. Keep observed sample sessions separate from rated claims. Ensure instructions identify supported charging conditions without promising compatibility or performance beyond the approved configuration.
06Plan the actual shipment
Record whether the battery ships installed, packed with equipment or separately, plus quantity, package type, origin, destination, carrier and air, sea or road mode. Confirm current classification, state-of-charge limits where applicable, packaging, marks, labels and documentation with trained specialists and the carrier.
07Control changes and expiry-sensitive checks
Set purchasing controls on cell and pack identities and require advance notice of substitutions. Reopen technical and transport review after battery, pack, circuit, charger, enclosure, supplier or route changes. Recheck carrier and regulatory instructions near shipment because acceptance rules and editions can change.
