12v battery - shipment-puzzled

[deltapapa]

Like many others I have made frequent use of my C-Tek in the past year or two.

From construction to dealer, say at least 6 weeks ( including 4/5 weeks in transit from Japan ) the 12v Battery is not in use (albeit brand new).

What does the dealer do concerning the Battery, bearing in mind others have reported failure after a couple of weeks of airport parking?

During shipping up to PDS the main fuse is removed so there will be no drain whatsoever on the 12 volt Battery

from the PDS documentation.

"The D/C CUT FUSE has been removed at the assembly plant to reduce parasitic current draw in transit
and storage"

Peter, thank you!
