Only
technicians who have been trained in High Voltage Awareness and
have completed all required certification courses (if applicable) are permitted to
perform this procedure. Proper personal protective equipment
(PPE) and insulating HV gloves with a minimum rating
of class 0 (1000V) must be worn at all times a high voltage
cable, busbar, or fitting is handled. Refer to Tech Note TN-15-92-003, High Voltage Awareness
Care Points
for additional safety
information.
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, to determine if the HV battery parameters are within safe limits for shipment or storage. |

-
Identify the vehicle SOC.
- If the SOC is less than the specified values, proceed with removal. See Remove.
- If the SOC is greater than the specified values, lower all of the vehicle windows and turn on the climate control system to maximum defrost. This setting will discharge the battery by approximately 10% SOC every hour.
- Move the vehicle to a location where it can safely continue to discharge the battery unattended.
- Identify the vehicle SOC every half-hour.
- When the SOC is below 50% for surface transport, or below 30% for air transport, turn off the climate control system, raise the windows, and then move the vehicle to the service bay.
