Fire
Damaged battery
or
fluid leak*
*If electrolyte solution leakage, or any damage to the HV battery casing is observed.
6.3.1 Vehicle fire
•
Use a large volume of water (max. 10,000 litres). The water must cool down the battery.
•
If water is put into the high-voltage battery casing, it will be better to cool down the battery. (But never attempt to
penetrate the HV battery or its casing to apply water.)
•
Soaking the vehicle in the container filled with water can be an effective way to extinguish the fire.
Extinguish the fire with a large amount of water.
Don't use seawater or salt water. It can generate the toxic
vapor or cause the reignition.
Disconnecting 12V Battery (-) terminal,
Disabling the high-voltage system,
Neutralise the battery by applying a large volume of water.
(It doesn't discharge the battery)
