1208.0. "WBC Batteries, what else!" by TOPTEN::AVERBACH () Fri Feb 14 1997 12:07

    
    	 After waiting a few days and UPRing a set of WBC batteries for
    a political ongoing customer situation, I finally get in a set dated
    3/96. So do I dare install this set or do I wait for batteries with a
    newer "BORN ON" date. I have seen a recommendation that we do not
    install batteries that have a date older than 3 months. Is that really
    the case and if so what are we doing about purging this inventory from
    our logistics system. At this time we have several sets on order and
    SR17 keeps pushing back our eta.
	I currently have an IPMT case open and I see there are several
    others regarding this issue. How about an official engineering
    statement around battery shelf life and also about what is being done
    to address/solve these ongoing battery issues. 
    	Should an IPMT case be opened for every battery failure
    encountered?

We would like ALL bad batteries returned to engineering.  This will permit us
to do failure analysis.
