HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL HV BATTERY RECOVERY INSPECTION
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
- CAUTION:
- ·
When disposing of an HV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
·Before returning the HV battery, make sure to perform a pre-return inspection.
·Accidents such as electric shock may result if the HV battery is discharged improperly and disposed or abandoned.
Therefore, make sure to return the HV battery through an authorized collection agent.
·To reduce the risk of fire, HV battery must not be stored in an area where they will be exposed to fire or high temperatures.
·If the temperature of the HV battery is high, leave it to cool down.
- HINT:
-
In order to return the HV battery in a safe manner, it may be necessary to discharge it. The following pre-return inspection procedure can be used to determine whether or not it is necessary to discharge the HV battery the method that may be required.
PROCEDURE
- CAUTION:
-
Be sure to wear insulated gloves and protective goggles.
| *a | 155 mm (6.10 in.) or more |
Position the HV battery as shown in the illustration and leave it for 5 minutes.
Check that no electrolyte is leaking from the HV battery.
- OK:
There is no electrolyte leaking from the HV battery.
- CAUTION:
- ·
Perform this procedure in an area where the battery will not be exposed to fire.
·Do not touch the HV battery, unless absolutely necessary, as electrolyte may be leaking.
- NOTICE:
-
If there is an electrolyte leak, make sure to wear insulated gloves and goggles and clean it using a piece of cloth. Do not leave electrolyte-contaminated cloths unattended. Dispose of them according to law or local regulations.
