•
Drain fluids and water, then disconnect the 12V battery connector and interlock connector before storing a damaged
vehicle.
•
Place the vehicle in an open space away from any structure, vehicle, or building.
•
Then, monitor the vehicle until the discharging procedures are completed.
•
If the battery can be removed from the vehicle by moving the vehicle on the lift, remove and discharge the battery.
•
If the battery can't be removed, place the vehicle into a sufficiently large container and add enough water until the entire
battery is submerged.
•
Add enough salt to the water container to create a 2% saltwater solution.
•
Leave the battery submerged in the saltwater solution for 3 days.
•
Then, drain the water and dry the battery.
•
If the high-voltage battery cannot be removed or the vehicle cannot be flooded, store the vehicle with waterproof cover.
Waterproof cover: size/material that can prevent water from entering the battery.
