Hey all, i see alot of people not wanting to ship batteries because of there weight, and their lack of materials to ship it. I have shipped tons of batts, and other heavy items over the years and have always used the same method and have yet to have a problem.
So I took some pics that will hopefully help somebody out. Only about $5-$7 in materials
We are packing a Deka 8a31 today
First thing is get a double thick cardboard box. Home Depot sells them for $1.50 may be different at your local store
Next you will need some thick trash bags.
Also will need some Great stuff expanding foam. The red can works the best for most items
Always check the voltage of the battery before you start to pack it
Take the spray foam and line the bottom of the box with it.
Wrap the battery in the trash bags making sure you cover the battery completely. I use two sometimes three depending on the bags thickness. Well the foam is still wet place the bagged battery in the box
Next finish spraying the can of Foam on the sides and the top of the battery
Last seal the box up so that the foam will expand around the battery making it very secure once it dries..
Generally it takes a few hours for it to fully cure and you can take it to you shipping location with piece of mind. Hope this helps
