Precautions On Removing Outlander Phev Main Lithium-Ion Drive Battery From Vehicle - Mitsubishi Electric OUTLANDER PHEV Dismantling Manual

6. PRECAUTIONS ON REMOVING OUTLANDER PHEV MAIN DRIVE LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY FROM VEHICLE
1. This vehicle has a high-voltage (maximum 336V) circuit. If the vehicle is handled incorrectly,
electric leakage or shock may occur resulting in serious injury or death. Service
technicians/engineers who perform inspection and service related to the high-voltage circuit
of the electric vehicles are obligated to observe (national legal requirements) proper safety
procedure outlined in this guide and use personal protective equipment.
2. Two types of batteries are used on the Outlander PHEV, a normal 12V lead battery (auxiliary
battery) and a special 336V (maximum) high-voltage lithium-ion battery (Main drive battery).
When scrapping the Outlander PHEV, removal of these two batteries is required. Dispose of
the lead battery in the same manner as that of a conventional vehicle lead battery.
3. Do not use heavy machinery to remove an Outlander PHEV lithium-ion main drive battery on
a vehicle that is to be scrapped as the battery may still be in a charged state. If the lithium-ion
main drive battery is damaged, using methods to cut it out or use of heavy machinery may
cause sparks, fire or fluid leakage resulting in an accident.
Note: If the Outlander PHEV lithium-ion main drive battery is damaged in any way during the
removal process by heavy machinery (equipment) or other methods not outlined in this guide,
collection/recycling of the battery may be refused due to safety concerns in transporting a
damaged battery.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is not responsible for any accident or damage caused by use
(including modification) of the Outlander PHEV drive battery, if it is mounted on or used on any
other vehicle other than the Outlander PHEV.
Never resell or transfer a wrecked or rebuilt Outlander PHEV. A wrecker, salvage yard, body shop,
insurance company, dismantler, private party etc., who conducts the resale or transfer of a wrecked
or rebuilt Outlander PHEV may be liable if an accident occurs.
