1. Select a sturdy pallet with no broken or missing boards. Be sure there are no nails sticking up, which could puncture the batteries. Stack return battery pallet using pallet provided with new shipment if possible.

2. Place a layer of cardboard on the pallet to prevent the batteries from sliding off of the pallet.
3. Make the first layer of batteries level and as close together as possible. If some of the batteries are shorter, they should be placed in the center of layers. Any taller batteries should be placed on the top layer.
4. Place waffle board (preferred) or sufficient cardboard (multiple sheets if necessary) between all layers, including the top layer of batteries to prevent the possibility of puncturing the batteries above and short circuit. Place cardboard on top of pallet.
5. Side terminal batteries must be stacked so the posts are facing away from each other and not facing towards the outside of the pallet. Side terminals must never touch.
6. Top posts must be positioned toward the outside of the pallet so the layer above it leans toward the center. Make sure that no batteries are overhanging the waffle board or sheets of cardboard.
7. Stud post batteries (Marine, Group 31, and Golf Car) should be on the top layer. If this is not possible, you will need extra layers of cardboard between the layers of batteries to prevent punctures. This is also important when stacking three layers high.
