M Hybrid Battery Handling

• The battery in an End of Life Vehicle(ELV) is essentially in a charged state.

Do not remove the battery from the vehicle in a way that would damage it,

such as with a nibbler (vehicle dismantling machine) and heavy machinery.

Otherwise, the battery may be damaged, causing sparks/fire,

and a liquid-spill accident.

• Do not apply any force or impact that would cause any damage to the lithium-ion battery.

(ex: Vehicle crush in a junkyard car crusher, puncture by a forklift,

and fall from a high place, etc.)

• Do not charge/discharge the lithium-ion battery using an external power supply.

• Insulate the terminal of the lithium-ion battery with insulation tape.

If there is a terminal cover, secure it with insulation tape so that it does not detach.

• Never disassemble the lithium-ion battery using a method other than the removal

method in this manual.

• When removing, wear rubber shoes and rubber gloves.

There is a risk of electric shock.

4. Recommendation for safe collection of M Hybrid Battery

●

In an accident car, submersible car, etc., there is a possibility that

the battery pack for may be deformed , cracked, short circuit,

leaked, etc, and a short circuit may cause accidents such as

smoking, ignition, or electric shock.

●

Always disconnect the lead battery before removing M Hybrid Battery.

• If you work without disconnecting the lead battery, short circuit may cause

smoke, fire, electric shock, etc.

●

Do not leave/discard/divert/modify/disassemble/resell

/transfer M Hybrid Battery.

• Touching of the battery that has been Improperly left or discarded,

or diverting, remodeling, or disassembling it for purposes other than its intended use

may cause accidents such as electric shock, emitting smoke, firing, heat generation,

explosion, or electrolyte leakage.

operator who performed these actions may be held.

Mazda cannot be held liable for any accidents / damages

caused by diversion / modification / disassembly of them hybrid

batteries, or any accidents / damages caused after neglect /

discard / resale / transfer. The responsibilities of the business

5. Removed M Hybrid Battery

6. Storage for removed M Hybrid Battery

1) To ensure the safety of the storage and transportation of the removed

M Hybrid Battery, be sure to take measures to prevent short circuits.

• Protect the terminal cover(positive side and negative side) with insulating tape (such as vinyl tape).

• Short-circuiting without insulation may cause electric shock, emitting smoke,

firing, heat generation, or rupture.

2) The removed M Hybrid Battery should be stored with the following conditions in mind.

Safety may be impaired, causing accidents due to electric shock, emitting smoke,

firing, heat generation, malfunction or failure of equipment.

⑴

Storage of safe the battery

In addition to the following, verify the laws and regulations of each country.

It is necessary to store the batteries in accordance with the laws and regulations.
