... carry out the tests, it is necessary to take into account the temperatures of the external environment, the room ambient temperature, and the temperature inside a refrigerated vehicle, whose temperature, according to Table 8 of CENEX for oranges, mandarins, and grapefruits (foodstuffs used in the tests), is within the parameters for refrigerated foodstuffs at high temperatures, 8 °C [60]. Starting with the battery, its positioning should be in a place where there is minimal loss of usable space for placing the secondary packaging. ...
