Precautions In Handling The High Voltage Battery - Mazda MX-30 2021 Disposal Manual

3. Precautions in Handling the high voltage battery

Introduction
●
・
The high voltage battery is enclosed in a sealed metal case and is designed to withstand
the temperature and pressure of normal handling. Therefore, there is no physical danger of
ignition, rupture, etc., or scientific danger of leakage of battery contents during normal handling.
However, there is a risk of leakage of contents or irritating or toxic gases from the battery
case when exposed to fire, strong shock, or electrical stress due to misuse.
The nominal voltage of this high voltage battery is 355V. In case of electrical shock,
it could result in serious injury or in the worst case death.
Handling of the high voltage battery
●
・
When handling the high voltage battery, be careful of the following
ー Do not put it in and not get it wet with water or seawater.
ー Do not put them it in and not get it wet with water or seawater.

ー Do not connect the connector or install the service plug until it is on-vehicle.
ー To prevent electric shock, be sure to insulate the battery terminals and wear
insulating gloves.
Measures to be taken in case of electric shock
●
・
In case of electric shock, take the following measures.
ー To prevent secondary electric shock, do not touch the person receiving
the electric shock with bare hands.
ー To prevent secondary electric shock, separate the battery from the person receiving
the electric shock by using a non conductive object.
ー Check for pulse, respiration, or response to stimuli, and call an emergency hospital for
