Discharge

WARNING: To conform with local laws, High Voltage Lithium Batteries must be discharged before packing for shipment. Additionally, HV batteries must be discharged before being put into storage. HV batteries to be shipped must have a State of Charge (SoC) of less than 30% or 50%, depending on the region. If the method of shipment is unknown or uncertain, or the battery is to be stored, it is recommended to discharge the HV battery to less than 30%.

WARNING: Do not ship or store an HV battery that has a loss of high voltage isolation. Verify HV battery isolation before packing for shipment or storage. Use the HV Battery Communication Tool, described in Toolbox article #41977 or Customer Document CD-21-16-003, to determine if the HV battery parameters are within safe limits for shipment or storage.

Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
If possible, perform the discharge procedure before HV battery removal. This method requires less time and user interaction than to use the Battery Discharge Tool after the battery has been removed. The Battery Discharge Tool can only be used by certified technicians..
Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
The steps of the discharge procedure are mostly touch time, and can be performed by the Service Advisors/Front of House team as well as Service Technicians..
  1. Enable Service Mode Plus. See Service Mode Plus.
  2. Identify the vehicle's current SOC Max: In the Service Mode Plus menu, touch High Voltage > HV Battery, and then touch the large HV battery diagram to display the HV Battery information window.
    • If the SOC Max is less than the SOC shipping threshold, skip to the Remove section in this procedure.
    • If the SOC Max is greater than the SOC shipping threshold, continue to the next step.
  3. Move the vehicle to a location where the battery can be safely discharged unattended.
  4. In the Service Mode Plus menu, touch High Voltage > HV Battery.
  5. In the Tools section, touch Start HV Discharge, and then in the window that opens, touch Run.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
