Sample Production — Complete Guide
Sample production is the critical bridge between specification and mass production — your opportunity to test the product in your market before committing to a full container order.
Sample Timeline: 3-4 Weeks
| Week | Activity | What You Receive |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Label artwork finalization, production slot scheduling | Label proof for approval |
| Week 2 | Battery assembly with your specifications (label, terminal, packaging) | Production progress update |
| Week 3 | Formation charging, 100% testing, quality inspection | Test data preview |
| Week 4 | Documentation, export packaging, courier shipment | Physical samples + documents |
What You Receive
- 5-20 branded production samples — exactly as mass production will deliver
- Certificate of Analysis per sample — CCA, capacity (C20), voltage, visual inspection
- MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) — for import customs clearance
- Label and packaging approval confirmation
- Shipping tracking number
Sample Cost
Sample costs (battery + courier) are credited against your first production order. This means samples are effectively free once you place your production order.
What to Test
- CCA — verify with your own tester (compare to CoA values)
- Capacity — test in your climate conditions
- Fitment — install in target vehicles, verify terminal fit
- Label durability — expose to heat, moisture, chemicals
- Packaging integrity — check after courier transport
- Market acceptance — show to your customers for feedback
